  2. Master boot record - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record

    A master boot record ( MBR) is a type of boot sector in the first few blocks of partitioned computer mass storage devices like fixed disks or removable drives intended for use with IBM PC-compatible systems and beyond. The concept of MBRs was publicly introduced in 1983 with PC DOS 2.0 . The MBR holds the information on how the disc's sectors ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    Bootstrapping is any test or metric that uses random sampling with replacement (e.g. mimicking the sampling process), and falls under the broader class of resampling methods. Bootstrapping assigns measures of accuracy ( bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error, etc.) to sample estimates.

  5. GBA (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    Generic Bootstrapping Architecture, a cryptographic technology that enables the authentication of a user. Glucocerebrosidase, a human enzyme. GBA2, a gene which encodes for cytosolic beta-glucosidase. GBA3, a gene which encodes for cytosolic beta-glucosidase. Gut–brain axis, biochemical signaling between the gastrointestinal tract and the ...

  6. Bootstrapping (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    Bootstrapping (biology) The idea of bootstrapping is significant in a number of fields in the biological sciences. The process by which a fertilised ovum develops into an embryo, particularly the way in which the nuclear genome is expressed differently in its various cells as these differentiate, is one example of bootstrapping. The evolution ...

  7. Extensible Authentication Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Authentication...

    Extensible Authentication Protocol ( EAP) is an authentication framework frequently used in network and internet connections. It is defined in RFC 3748, which made RFC 2284 obsolete, and is updated by RFC 5247 . EAP is an authentication framework for providing the transport and usage of material and parameters generated by EAP methods.

  8. Bootstrapping populations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_populations

    Bootstrapping populations in statistics and mathematics starts with a sample {, …,} observed from a random variable.. When X has a given distribution law with a set of non fixed parameters, we denote with a vector , a parametric inference problem consists of computing suitable values – call them estimates – of these parameters precisely on the basis of the sample.

  9. Generic Authentication Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_Authentication...

    Generic Authentication Architecture (GAA) is a standard made by 3GPP defined in TR 33.919. Taken from the document: Taken from the document: "This Technical Report aims to give an overview of the different mechanisms that mobile applications can rely upon for authentication between server and client (i.e. the UE).
