Let the true value of a quantity be x and the measured or inferred value x_0. Then the relative error is defined by deltax=(Deltax)/x=(x_0-x)/x=(x_0)/x-1, where Deltax is the ...

The ratio of the absolute frequency to the total number of data points in a frequency distribution.

The relative rate of change of a function f(x) is the ratio if its derivative to itself, namely R(f(x))=(f^'(x))/(f(x)).

In general, a remainder is a quantity "left over" after performing a particular algorithm. The term is most commonly used to refer to the number left over when two integers ...

A removable singularity is a singular point z_0 of a function f(z) for which it is possible to assign a complex number in such a way that f(z) becomes analytic. A more ...

Rényi entropy is defined as: H_alpha(p_1,p_2,...,p_n)=1/(1-alpha)ln(sum_(i=1)^np_i^alpha), where alpha>0, alpha!=1. As alpha->1, H_alpha(p_1,p_2,...,p_n) converges to ...

Rényi's polynomial is the polynomial (Rényi 1947, Coppersmith and Davenport 1991) that has 29 terms and whose square has 28, making it a sparse polynomial square.

Given a function f specified by parametric variables u_1, ..., u_n, a reparameterization f^^ of f over domain U is a change of variables u_i in U->v_i->V via a function phi ...

An expression describing a form in which a quantity can be written. For example, all primes p>3 can be "represented as" 6n+/-1.

A plot of y_i versus the estimator e_i=y^^_i-y_i. Random scatter indicates the model is probably good. A pattern indicates a problem with the model. If the spread in e_i ...
