Schéma (géométrie algébrique)En mathématiques, les schémas sont les objets de base de la géométrie algébrique, généralisant la notion de variété algébrique de plusieurs façons, telles que la prise en compte des multiplicités, l'unicité des points génériques et le fait d'autoriser des équations à coefficients dans un anneau commutatif quelconque.
Méthode des plans sécantsvignette|Application de la méthode des plans sécants au problème du voyageur de commerce. En mathématiques, et spécialement en optimisation linéaire en nombres entiers, la méthode des plans sécants, ou cutting plane method, est une méthode utilisée pour trouver une solution entière d'un problème d'optimisation linéaire. Elle fut introduite par Ralph E. Gomory puis étudiée par Gomory et Václav Chvátal. Le principe de la méthode est d'ajouter des contraintes au programme linéaire pour le raffiner, et le rapprocher des solutions intégrales.
Risk measureIn financial mathematics, a risk measure is used to determine the amount of an asset or set of assets (traditionally currency) to be kept in reserve. The purpose of this reserve is to make the risks taken by financial institutions, such as banks and insurance companies, acceptable to the regulator. In recent years attention has turned towards convex and coherent risk measurement. A risk measure is defined as a mapping from a set of random variables to the real numbers. This set of random variables represents portfolio returns.
Hilbert schemeIn algebraic geometry, a branch of mathematics, a Hilbert scheme is a scheme that is the parameter space for the closed subschemes of some projective space (or a more general projective scheme), refining the Chow variety. The Hilbert scheme is a disjoint union of projective subschemes corresponding to Hilbert polynomials. The basic theory of Hilbert schemes was developed by . Hironaka's example shows that non-projective varieties need not have Hilbert schemes.
Risque de marchéLe risque de marché est le risque de perte qui peut résulter des fluctuations des prix des instruments financiers qui composent un portefeuille. Le risque peut porter sur le cours des actions, les taux d'intérêt, les taux de change, les cours de matières premières, etc. Par extension, c'est le risque des activités économiques directement ou indirectement liées à un tel marché (par exemple, un exportateur est soumis aux taux de change, un constructeur automobile au prix de l'acier...).
Group schemeIn mathematics, a group scheme is a type of object from algebraic geometry equipped with a composition law. Group schemes arise naturally as symmetries of schemes, and they generalize algebraic groups, in the sense that all algebraic groups have group scheme structure, but group schemes are not necessarily connected, smooth, or defined over a field. This extra generality allows one to study richer infinitesimal structures, and this can help one to understand and answer questions of arithmetic significance.
Correction de BonferroniEn statistiques, la correction de Bonferroni est une méthode pour corriger le seuil de significativité lors de comparaisons multiples. La correction de Bonferroni est la méthode de correction la plus simple, bien qu'elle soit conservatrice étant donné qu'elle présente un risque conséquent d'. En effet, cette méthode ne prend pas en compte quelques informations, comme la distribution des valeurs p des différentes comparaisons.
Formal schemeIn mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, a formal scheme is a type of space which includes data about its surroundings. Unlike an ordinary scheme, a formal scheme includes infinitesimal data that, in effect, points in a direction off of the scheme. For this reason, formal schemes frequently appear in topics such as deformation theory. But the concept is also used to prove a theorem such as the theorem on formal functions, which is used to deduce theorems of interest for usual schemes.
Fiber product of schemesIn mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, the fiber product of schemes is a fundamental construction. It has many interpretations and special cases. For example, the fiber product describes how an algebraic variety over one field determines a variety over a bigger field, or the pullback of a family of varieties, or a fiber of a family of varieties. Base change is a closely related notion. The of schemes is a broad setting for algebraic geometry.
Multiple comparisons problemIn statistics, the multiple comparisons, multiplicity or multiple testing problem occurs when one considers a set of statistical inferences simultaneously or infers a subset of parameters selected based on the observed values. The more inferences are made, the more likely erroneous inferences become. Several statistical techniques have been developed to address that problem, typically by requiring a stricter significance threshold for individual comparisons, so as to compensate for the number of inferences being made.
