Sample size determinationSample size determination is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a study is usually determined based on the cost, time, or convenience of collecting the data, and the need for it to offer sufficient statistical power.
Spatial anti-aliasingIn digital signal processing, spatial anti-aliasing is a technique for minimizing the distortion artifacts (aliasing) when representing a high-resolution image at a lower resolution. Anti-aliasing is used in digital photography, computer graphics, digital audio, and many other applications. Anti-aliasing means removing signal components that have a higher frequency than is able to be properly resolved by the recording (or sampling) device. This removal is done before (re)sampling at a lower resolution.
Cartesian product of graphsIn graph theory, the Cartesian product G □ H of graphs G and H is a graph such that: the vertex set of G □ H is the Cartesian product V(G) × V(H); and two vertices (u,u' ) and (v,v' ) are adjacent in G □ H if and only if either u = v and u' is adjacent to v' in H, or u' = v' and u is adjacent to v in G. The Cartesian product of graphs is sometimes called the box product of graphs [Harary 1969]. The operation is associative, as the graphs (F □ G) □ H and F □ (G □ H) are naturally isomorphic.
C data typesIn the C programming language, data types constitute the semantics and characteristics of storage of data elements. They are expressed in the language syntax in form of declarations for memory locations or variables. Data types also determine the types of operations or methods of processing of data elements. The C language provides basic arithmetic types, such as integer and real number types, and syntax to build array and compound types.
