  2. Temporal paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporal_paradox

    Temporal paradox. A temporal paradox, time paradox, or time travel paradox, is a paradox, an apparent contradiction, or logical contradiction associated with the idea of time travel or other foreknowledge of the future. While the notion of time travel to the future complies with the current understanding of physics via relativistic time ...

  3. Bootstrapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping

    In computer technology, the term bootstrapping refers to language compilers that are able to be coded in the same language. (For example, a C compiler is now written in the C language. Once the basic compiler is written, improvements can be iteratively made, thus pulling the language up by its bootstraps).

  4. Bootstrap model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_model

    Bootstrap model. The term " bootstrap model " is used for a class of theories that use very general consistency criteria to determine the form of a quantum theory from some assumptions on the spectrum of particles. It is a form of S-matrix theory .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_equation_modeling

    Structural equation modeling ( SEM) is a diverse set of methods used by scientists doing both observational and experimental research. SEM is used mostly in the social and behavioral sciences but it is also used in epidemiology, [2] business, [3] and other fields.

  6. Sampling error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_error

    In reality, obtaining an unbiased sample can be difficult as many parameters (in this example, country, age, gender, and so on) may strongly bias the estimator and it must be ensured that none of these factors play a part in the selection process.

  7. Bootstrapping (compilers) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(compilers)

    Bootstrapping (compilers) In computer science, bootstrapping is the technique for producing a self-compiling compiler – that is, a compiler (or assembler) written in the source programming language that it intends to compile. An initial core version of the compiler (the bootstrap compiler) is generated in a different language (which could be ...

  8. Sample and hold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_and_hold

    Sample and hold. In electronics, a sample and hold (also known as sample and follow) circuit is an analog device that samples (captures, takes) the voltage of a continuously varying analog signal and holds (locks, freezes) its value at a constant level for a specified minimum period of time. Sample and hold circuits and related peak detectors ...
