Binomial (polynomial)
In algebra, a binomial is a polynomial that is the sum of two terms, each of which is a monomial. It is the simplest kind of a sparse polynomial after the monomials. Definition A binomial is a polynomial which is the sum of two monomials. A binomial in a single indeterminate (also known as a univariate binomial) can be written in the form :a x^m - bx^n , where and are numbers, and and are distinct non-negative integers and is a symbol which is called an indeterminate or, for historical reasons, a variable. In the context of Laurent polynomials, a ''Laurent binomial'', often simply called a ''binomial'', is similarly defined, but the exponents and may be negative. More generally, a binomial may be written as: :a\, x_1^\dotsb x_i^ - b\, x_1^\dotsb x_i^ Examples :3x - 2x^2 :xy + yx^2 :0.9 x^3 + \pi y^2 :2 x^3 + 7 Operations on simple binomials *The binomial , the difference of two squares, can be factored as the product of two other binomials: :: x^2 - y^2 = (x - y) ...

Binomial Coefficient
In mathematics, the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers and is written \tbinom. It is the coefficient of the term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power ; this coefficient can be computed by the multiplicative formula : \binom nk = \frac, which using factorial notation can be compactly expressed as : \binom = \frac. For example, the fourth power of is : \begin (1 + x)^4 &= \tbinom x^0 + \tbinom x^1 + \tbinom x^2 + \tbinom x^3 + \tbinom x^4 \\ &= 1 + 4x + 6 x^2 + 4x^3 + x^4, \end and the binomial coefficient \tbinom =\tfrac = \tfrac = 6 is the coefficient of the term. Arranging the numbers \tbinom, \tbinom, \ldots, \tbinom in successive rows for gives a triangular array called Pascal's triangle, satisfying the recurrence relation : \binom = \binom + \binom . The binomial coefficients occur in many areas of mathematics, and espe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Binomial QMF
A binomial QMF – properly an orthonormal binomial quadrature mirror filter – is an orthogonal wavelet developed in 1990. The binomial QMF bank with perfect reconstruction (PR) was designed by Ali Akansu, and published in 1990, using the family of binomial polynomials for subband decomposition of discrete-time signals. Akansu and his fellow authors also showed that these binomial-QMF filters are identical to the wavelet filters designed independently by Ingrid Daubechies from compactly supported orthonormal wavelet transform perspective in 1988 ( Daubechies wavelet). It was an extension of Akansu's prior work on Binomial coefficient and Hermite polynomials In mathematics, the Hermite polynomials are a classical orthogonal polynomial sequence. The polynomials arise in: * signal processing as Hermitian wavelets for wavelet transform analysis * probability, such as the Edgeworth series, as well a ... wherein he developed the Modified Hermite Transformation (MHT) in 1987. ...

Binomial Theorem
In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial. According to the theorem, the power expands into a polynomial with terms of the form , where the exponents and are nonnegative integers satisfying and the coefficient of each term is a specific positive integer depending on and . For example, for , (x+y)^4 = x^4 + 4 x^3y + 6 x^2 y^2 + 4 x y^3 + y^4. The coefficient in each term is known as the binomial coefficient or (the two have the same value). These coefficients for varying and can be arranged to form Pascal's triangle. These numbers also occur in combinatorics, where gives the number of different combinations (i.e. subsets) of elements that can be chosen from an -element set. Therefore is usually pronounced as " choose ". Statement According to the theorem, the expansion of any nonnegative integer power of the binomial is a sum of the form (x+y)^n = x^n y^0 + x^ y^1 + x^ y^ ...

Binomial Type
In mathematics, a polynomial sequence, i.e., a sequence of polynomials indexed by non-negative integers \left\ in which the index of each polynomial equals its degree, is said to be of binomial type if it satisfies the sequence of identities :p_n(x+y)=\sum_^n\, p_k(x)\, p_(y). Many such sequences exist. The set of all such sequences forms a Lie group under the operation of umbral composition, explained below. Every sequence of binomial type may be expressed in terms of the Bell polynomials. Every sequence of binomial type is a Sheffer sequence (but most Sheffer sequences are not of binomial type). Polynomial sequences put on firm footing the vague 19th century notions of umbral calculus. Examples * In consequence of this definition the binomial theorem can be stated by saying that the sequence \ is of binomial type. * The sequence of " lower factorials" is defined by(x)_n=x(x-1)(x-2)\cdot\cdots\cdot(x-n+1).(In the theory of special functions, this same notation denotes ...

Binomial Series
In mathematics, the binomial series is a generalization of the binomial formula to cases where the exponent is not a positive integer: where \alpha is any complex number, and the power series on the right-hand side is expressed in terms of the (generalized) binomial coefficients :\binom = \frac. The binomial series is the MacLaurin series for the function f(x)=(1+x)^\alpha. It converges when , x, - 1 is assumed. On the other hand, the series does not converge if , x, =1 and \operatorname(\alpha) \le - 1 , again by formula (). Alternatively, we may observe that for all j, \left, \fracj - 1 \ \ge 1 - \fracj \ge 1 . Thus, by formula (), for all k, \left, \ \ge 1 . This completes the proof of (iii). Turning to (iv), we use identity () above with x=-1 and \alpha-1 in place of \alpha, along with formula (), to obtain :\sum_^n \! (-1)^k = \! (-1)^n= \frac1 (1+o(1)) as n\to\infty. Assertion (iv) now follows from the asymptotic behavior of the sequence n^ = e^. (Precisely, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Binomial Distribution
In probability theory and statistics, the binomial distribution with parameters and is the discrete probability distribution of the number of successes in a sequence of statistical independence, independent experiment (probability theory), experiments, each asking a yes–no question, and each with its own Boolean-valued function, Boolean-valued outcome (probability), outcome: ''success'' (with probability ) or ''failure'' (with probability ). A single success/failure experiment is also called a Bernoulli trial or Bernoulli experiment, and a sequence of outcomes is called a Bernoulli process; for a single trial, i.e., , the binomial distribution is a Bernoulli distribution. The binomial distribution is the basis for the binomial test of statistical significance. The binomial distribution is frequently used to model the number of successes in a sample of size drawn with replacement from a population of size . If the sampling is carried out without replacement, the draws ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Binomial Process
A binomial process is a special point process in probability theory. Definition Let P be a probability distribution and n be a fixed natural number. Let X_1, X_2, \dots, X_n be i.i.d. random variables with distribution P , so X_i \sim P for all i \in \. Then the binomial process based on ''n'' and ''P'' is the random measure : \xi= \sum_^n \delta_, where \delta_=\begin1, &\textX_i\in A,\\ 0, &\text.\end Properties Name The name of a binomial process is derived from the fact that for all measurable sets A the random variable \xi(A) follows a binomial distribution with parameters P(A) and n : : \xi(A) \sim \operatorname(n,P(A)). Laplace-transform The Laplace transform In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after Pierre-Simon Laplace (), is an integral transform that converts a Function (mathematics), function of a Real number, real Variable (mathematics), variable (usually t, in the ''time domain'') to a f ... of a binomial process is given by ...

Binomial Test
Binomial test is an exact test of the statistical significance of deviations from a theoretically expected distribution of observations into two categories using sample data. Usage A binomial test is a statistical hypothesis test used to determine whether the proportion of successes in a sample differs from an expected proportion in a binomial distribution. It is useful for situations when there are two possible outcomes (e.g., success/failure, yes/no, heads/tails), i.e., where repeated experiments produce binary data. If one assumes an underlying probability \pi_0 between 0 and 1, the null hypothesis is : H_0\colon\pi=\pi_0 For a sample of size n, we would expect n\pi_0 successes. The formula of the binomial distribution gives the probability of those n samples instead producing k successes: : \Pr(X=k)=\binom\pi_0^k(1-\pi_0)^ Suppose that we want to test the alternative hypothesis : H_\colon\pi\pi_0 using the summation of the range from k to n instead.

Binomial Heap
In computer science, a binomial heap is a data structure that acts as a priority queue. It is an example of a mergeable heap (also called meldable heap), as it supports merging two heaps in logarithmic time. It is implemented as a Heap (data structure), heap similar to a binary heap but using a special tree structure that is different from the complete binary trees used by binary heaps. Binomial heaps were invented in 1978 by Jean Vuillemin. Binomial heap A binomial heap is implemented as a set of binomial tree data structure, trees (compare with a binary heap, which has a shape of a single binary tree), which are defined recursively as follows: * A binomial tree of order 0 is a single node * A binomial tree of order k has a root node whose children are roots of binomial trees of orders k-1, k-2, ..., 2, 1, 0 (in this order). A binomial tree of order k has 2^k nodes, and height k. The name comes from the shape: a binomial tree of order k has \tbinom k d nodes at depth d, a ...

Binomial Pair
In linguistics and stylistics, an irreversible binomial, frozen binomial, binomial freeze, binomial expression, binomial pair, or nonreversible word pair is a pair of words used together in fixed order as an idiomatic expression or collocation. The words have a semantic relationship usually involving the words ''and'' or ''or''. They also belong to the same part of speech: nouns (''milk and honey''), adjectives (''short and sweet''), or verbs (''do or die''). The order of word elements cannot be reversed. The term "irreversible binomial" was introduced by Yakov Malkiel in 1954, though various aspects of the phenomenon had been discussed since at least 1903 under different names: a "terminological imbroglio". Ernest Gowers used the name Siamese twins (i.e., conjoined twins) in the 1965 edition of Fowler's ''Modern English Usage''. The 2015 edition reverts to the scholarly name, "irreversible binomials", as "Siamese twins" had become politically incorrect. Many irreversible bino ...

Binomial Nomenclature
In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called binary nomenclature, is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts, both of which use Latin grammatical forms, although they can be based on words from other languages. Such a name is called a binomial name (often shortened to just "binomial"), a binomen, name, or a scientific name; more informally, it is also called a Latin name. In the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), the system is also called nomenclature, with an "n" before the "al" in "binominal", which is a typographic error, meaning "two-name naming system". The first part of the name – the '' generic name'' – identifies the genus to which the species belongs, whereas the second part – the specific name or specific epithet – distinguishes the species within the genus. For example, modern humans belong to the genus ''Homo'' and within this genus to the species ''Hom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
