Algorithms for calculating variance — play a major role in statistical computing. A key problem in the design of good algorithms for this problem is that formulas for the variance may involve sums of squares, which can lead to numerical instability as well as to arithmetic overflow… … Wikipedia
Selection algorithm — In computer science, a selection algorithm is an algorithm for finding the kth smallest number in a list (such a number is called the kth order statistic). This includes the cases of finding the minimum, maximum, and median elements. There are… … Wikipedia
Nearest-neighbor chain algorithm — In the theory of cluster analysis, the nearest neighbor chain algorithm is a method that can be used to perform several types of agglomerative hierarchical clustering, using an amount of memory that is linear in the number of points to be… … Wikipedia
Spigot algorithm — A spigot algorithm is an algorithm used to compute the value of a mathematical constant such as pi; or e. Unlike recursive algorithms, a spigot algorithm yields digits incrementally without using previously computed digits. The Bailey Borwein… … Wikipedia
