generalized distance
1Distance — This article is about distance in the mathematical or physical sense. For other senses of the term, see distance (disambiguation). Proximity redirects here. For the 2001 film, see Proximity (film). Distance (or farness) is a numerical description …
2Generalized coordinates — By deriving equations of motion in terms of a general set of generalized coordinates, the results found will be valid for any coordinate system that is ultimately specified. cite book |last=Torby |first=Bruce |title=Advanced Dynamics for… …
3Generalized Kac–Moody algebra — In mathematics, a generalized Kac–Moody algebra is a Lie algebra that is similar to a Kac–Moody algebra, except that it is allowed to have imaginary simple roots. Generalized Kac–Moody algebras are also sometimes called GKM… …
4Generalized force — The idea of a Generalized Force is a concept stemming from Lagrangian mechanics. It is a consequence of the application of generalized coordinates to a system undergoing acceleration.When a particle undergoes a virtual displacement delta… …
5Generalized tree alignment — In computational phylogenetics, generalized tree alignment is the problem of producing a multiple sequence alignment and a phylogenetic tree on a set of sequences simultaneously, as opposed to separately. Formally, Generalized tree alignment is… …
6Distance correlation — In statistics and in probability theory, distance correlation is a measure of statistical dependence between two random variables or two random vectors of arbitrary, not necessarily equal dimension. Its important property is that this measure of… …
7Generalized Procrustes analysis — The Procrustes distance provides a metric to minimize in order to align a pair of shape instances annotated by landmark points. Generalized Procrustes analysis (GPA) is a procedure applying the aforementioned Procrustes analysis method to align a …
8Generalized minimal residual method — In mathematics, the generalized minimal residual method (usually abbreviated GMRES) is an iterative method for the numerical solution of a system of linear equations. The method approximates the solution by the vector in a Krylov subspace with… …
9Levenshtein distance — In information theory and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a string metric for measuring the amount of difference between two sequences. The term edit distance is often used to refer specifically to Levenshtein distance. The… …
10Mahalanobis distance — In statistics, Mahalanobis distance is a distance measure introduced by P. C. Mahalanobis in 1936.[1] It is based on correlations between variables by which different patterns can be identified and analyzed. It gauges similarity of an unknown… …
