variable-length vector
1Vector quantization — is a classical quantization technique from signal processing which allows the modeling of probability density functions by the distribution of prototype vectors. It was originally used for data compression. It works by dividing a large set of… …
2Vector (STL) — Vectors (or std::vector) are a C++ implementation of the dynamic array data structure. Their interface emulates the behavior of a C array (i.e., capable of fast random access) but with the additional ability to automatically resize itself when… …
3radius vector — noun Mathematics a line of variable length extending from a centre to an orbit or other curve …
4Comparison of vector algebra and geometric algebra — Vector algebra and geometric algebra are alternative approaches to providing additional algebraic structures on vector spaces, with geometric interpretations, particularly vector fields in multivariable calculus and applications in mathematical… …
5Euclidean vector — This article is about the vectors mainly used in physics and engineering to represent directed quantities. For mathematical vectors in general, see Vector (mathematics and physics). For other uses, see vector. Illustration of a vector …
6Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector — Throughout this article, vectors and their magnitudes are indicated by boldface and italic type, respectively; for example, left| mathbf{A} ight| = A. In classical mechanics, the Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector (or simply the LRL vector) is a vector… …
7Neutral vector — In statistics, and specifically in the study of the Dirichlet distribution, a neutral vector of random variables is one that exhibits a particular type of statistical independence amongst its elements.[1] In particular, when elements of the… …
8complex variable — Math. a variable to which complex numbers may be assigned as value. [1875 80] * * * In mathematics, a variable that can take on the value of a complex number. In basic algebra, the variables x and y generally stand for values of real numbers. The …
9Minimum message length — (MML) is a formal information theory restatement of Occam s Razor: even when models are not equal in goodness of fit accuracy to the observed data, the one generating the shortest overall message is more likely to be correct (where the message… …
10Minimum description length — The minimum description length (MDL) principle is a formalization of Occam s Razor in which the best hypothesis for a given set of data is the one that leads to the best compression of the data. MDL was introduced by Jorma Rissanen in 1978. It is …
