81Law of multiple proportions — In chemistry, the law of multiple proportions is one of the basic laws and a major tool of chemical measurement (stoichiometry). It states that when elements combine they do so in a ratio of small whole numbers. For example, carbon and oxygen… …
82Mathematical induction — can be informally illustrated by reference to the sequential effect of falling dominoes. Mathematical induction is a method of mathematical proof typically used to establish that a given statement is true of all natural numbers (positive… …
83Noether's theorem — This article discusses Emmy Noether s first theorem, which derives conserved quantities from symmetries. For her related theorem on infinite dimensional Lie algebras and differential equations, see Noether s second theorem. For her unrelated… …
84Acting President of the United States — is a reference to a person who is legitimately exercising the Presidential powers even though that person does not hold the office of the President of the United States in his own right. John Tyler, the first to assume the Presidency following… …
85Mixture model — See also: Mixture distribution In statistics, a mixture model is a probabilistic model for representing the presence of sub populations within an overall population, without requiring that an observed data set should identify the sub population… …
86Transfeminism — as a noun is a category of feminism, most often known for the application of transgender discourses to feminist discourses, and of feminist beliefs to transgender discourse (Hill 2002). This, like many brief definitions of complex topics, is a… …
87Maximum parsimony — Maximum parsimony, often simply referred to as parsimony, is a non parametric statistical method commonly used in computational phylogenetics for estimating phylogenies. Under maximum parsimony, the preferred phylogenetic tree is the tree that… …
88Info-gap decision theory — is a non probabilistic decision theory that seeks to optimize robustness to failure – or opportuneness for windfall – under severe uncertainty,[1][2] in particular applying sensitivity analysis of the stability radius type[3] to perturbations in… …
89Banker's algorithm — The Banker s algorithm is a resource allocation deadlock avoidance algorithm developed by Edsger Dijkstra that tests for safety by simulating the allocation of pre determined maximum possible amounts of all resources, and then makes a safe state… …
90Maximum parsimony (phylogenetics) — Parsimony is a non parametric statistical method commonly used in computational phylogenetics for estimating phylogenies. Under parsimony, the preferred phylogenetic tree is the tree that requires the least evolutionary change to explain some… …
