  2. Minimum deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_deviation

    In a prism, the angle of deviation (δ) decreases with increase in the angle of incidence (i) up to a particular angle.This angle of incidence where the angle of deviation in a prism is minimum is called the minimum deviation position of the prism and that very deviation angle is known as the minimum angle of deviation (denoted by δ min, D λ, or D m).

  4. Robust statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_statistics

    The distribution of standard deviation is erratic and wide, a result of the outliers. The MAD is better behaved, and Qn is a little bit more efficient than MAD. This simple example demonstrates that when outliers are present, the standard deviation cannot be recommended as an estimate of scale. Manual screening for outliers

  5. Standardized mortality ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardized_mortality_ratio

    Standardized mortality ratio. The standardized mortality ratio is the ratio of observed deaths in the study group to expected deaths in the general population. [2] This ratio can be expressed as a percentage simply by multiplying by 100. [citation needed] The SMR may be quoted as either a ratio or a percentage.

  6. Circular error probable - Wikipedia

    Munitions may also have larger standard deviation of range errors than the standard deviation of azimuth (deflection) errors, resulting in an elliptical confidence region. Munition samples may not be exactly on target, that is, the mean vector will not be (0,0). This is referred to as bias.

  7. Median - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median

    The median of a finite list of numbers is the "middle" number, when those numbers are listed in order from smallest to greatest. If the data set has an odd number of observations, the middle one is selected. For example, the following list of seven numbers, has the median of 6, which is the fourth value.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard...

    The U.S. Standard Atmosphere is a set of models that define values for atmospheric temperature, density, pressure and other properties over a wide range of altitudes. The first model, based on an existing international standard, was published in 1958 by the U.S. Committee on Extension to the Standard Atmosphere, [9] and was updated in 1962, [5 ...

    The mathematics of gambling is a collection of probability applications encountered in games of chance and can get included in game theory.From a mathematical point of view, the games of chance are experiments generating various types of aleatory events, and it is possible to calculate by using the properties of probability on a finite space of possibilities.
