  2. Fixed-rate mortgage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-rate_mortgage

    A fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) is a mortgage loan where the interest rate on the note remains the same through the term of the loan, as opposed to loans where the interest rate may adjust or "float". As a result, payment amounts and the duration of the loan are fixed and the person who is responsible for paying back the loan benefits from a ...

  3. Closure (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(mathematics)

    The main property of closed sets, which results immediately from the definition, is that every intersection of closed sets is a closed set. It follows that for every subset Y of S , there is a smallest closed subset X of S such that Y ⊆ X {\displaystyle Y\subseteq X} (it is the intersection of all closed subsets that contain Y ).

  4. Ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio

    The ratio of width to height of standard-definition television. In mathematics, a ratio (/ ˈ r eɪ ʃ (i) oʊ /) shows how many times one number contains another. For example, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a bowl of fruit, then the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).

  5. Normalization (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    In statistics and applications of statistics, normalization can have a range of meanings. [1] In the simplest cases, normalization of ratings means adjusting values measured on different scales to a notionally common scale, often prior to averaging.

  6. False positive rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positive_rate

    The false positive rate is = +. where is the number of false positives, is the number of true negatives and = + is the total number of ground truth negatives.. The level of significance that is used to test each hypothesis is set based on the form of inference (simultaneous inference vs. selective inference) and its supporting criteria (for example FWER or FDR), that were pre-determined by the ...

  7. Shear rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_rate

    The shear rate for a fluid flowing between two parallel plates, one moving at a constant speed and the other one stationary (Couette flow), is defined by ˙ =, where: ˙ is the shear rate, measured in reciprocal seconds;

  8. Confusion matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion_matrix

    In predictive analytics, a table of confusion (sometimes also called a confusion matrix) is a table with two rows and two columns that reports the number of true positives, false negatives, false positives, and true negatives. This allows more detailed analysis than simply observing the proportion of correct classifications (accuracy).

  9. Rate of convergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_convergence

    In order to define the rates and orders of R-convergence, one uses the rate and order of Q-convergence of am error-bounding sequence () chosen such that no other error-bounding sequence (′) could have been chosen that would converge with a faster rate and order; any (′) provides a lower bound on the rate and order of R-convergence and the ...
