  2. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Some codecs will analyze a longer segment, called a frame, of the data to optimize efficiency, and then code it in a manner that requires a larger segment of data at one time to decode. The inherent latency of the coding algorithm can be critical; for example, when there is a two-way transmission of data, such as with a telephone conversation ...

  3. Speech-generating device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech-generating_device

    SGD output is typically much slower than speech, although rate enhancement strategies can increase the user's rate of output, resulting in enhanced efficiency of communication. [ 6 ] The first known SGD was prototyped in the mid-1970s, and rapid progress in hardware and software development has meant that SGD capabilities can now be integrated ...

  4. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    In computer science and information theory, a Huffman code is a particular type of optimal prefix code that is commonly used for lossless data compression.The process of finding or using such a code is Huffman coding, an algorithm developed by David A. Huffman while he was a Sc.D. student at MIT, and published in the 1952 paper "A Method for the Construction of Minimum-Redundancy Codes".

  5. Categorical variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_variable

    Categorical data is the statistical data type consisting of categorical variables or of data that has been converted into that form, for example as grouped data. More specifically, categorical data may derive from observations made of qualitative data that are summarised as counts or cross tabulations , or from observations of quantitative data ...

  6. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    Input/output translation hardware converted between the internal digit pairs and the external standard 6-bit BCD codes. In the decimal architecture IBM 7070 , IBM 7072 , and IBM 7074 alphamerics are encoded using digit pairs (using two-out-of-five code in the digits, not BCD) of the 10-digit word, with the "zone" in the left digit and the ...

  7. Hyperlink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink

    An example of a hyperlink as commonly seen in a web browser, with a mouse pointer hovering above it Visual abstraction of several documents being connected by hyperlinks. In computing, a hyperlink, or simply a link, is a digital reference to data that the user can follow or be guided to by clicking or tapping. [1]

  8. Server-side scripting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server-side_scripting

    With server-side rendering, static HTML can be sent from the server to the client, and client-side JavaScript then makes the web page dynamic by attaching event handlers to the HTML elements in a process called hydration. Examples of frameworks that support server-side rendering are Next.js, Nuxt.js, Angular, and React.

  9. Data analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_analysis

    Data analysis is a process for obtaining raw data, and subsequently converting it into information useful for decision-making by users. [1] Data is collected and analyzed to answer questions, test hypotheses, or disprove theories. [11] Statistician John Tukey, defined data analysis in 1961, as:
