Bucklin votingBucklin voting is a class of voting methods that can be used for single-member and multi-member districts. As in highest median rules like the majority judgment, the Bucklin winner will be one of the candidates with the highest median ranking or rating. It is named after its original promoter, the Georgist politician James W. Bucklin of Grand Junction, Colorado, and is also known as the Grand Junction system. Bucklin rules varied, but here is a typical example: Voters are allowed rank preference ballots (first, second, third, etc.
CASPCritical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP), sometimes called Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction, is a community-wide, worldwide experiment for protein structure prediction taking place every two years since 1994. CASP provides research groups with an opportunity to objectively test their structure prediction methods and delivers an independent assessment of the state of the art in protein structure modeling to the research community and software users.
Accessibilité numériqueL'accessibilité numérique est la mise à la disposition de tous les individus, quels que soient leur matériel ou logiciel, leur infrastructure réseau, leur langue maternelle, leur culture, leur localisation géographique, ou leurs aptitudes physiques ou mentales, des ressources numériques.
Filtre (audio)Dans le traitement du signal, un filtre est un appareil ou une fonction servant à retirer ou bien à accentuer ou réduire certaines parties du spectre sonore représentées dans un signal. Les filtres sont essentiels dans plusieurs fonctions des appareils électroniques (voir Filtre (électronique)). Nous ne traiterons ici que des filtres accessibles par des commandes dans les tranches des consoles de mixage et les égaliseurs qui permettent d'ajuster la tonalité des sons.
Nanson's methodThe Borda count electoral system can be combined with an instant-runoff procedure to create hybrid election methods that are called Nanson method and Baldwin method (also called Total Vote Runoff or TVR). Both methods are designed to satisfy the Condorcet criterion, and allow for incomplete ballots and equal rankings. The Nanson method is based on the original work of the mathematician Edward J. Nanson in 1882.
Loi de conservationvignette|redresse|Emmy Noether est une mathématicienne allemande dont le théorème explique le lien fondamental entre la symétrie et les lois de conservation. En physique, une loi de conservation exprime qu'une propriété mesurable particulière d'un système physique reste constante au cours de l'évolution de ce système.
Astronomical filterAn astronomical filter is a telescope accessory consisting of an optical filter used by amateur astronomers to simply improve the details and contrast of celestial objects, either for viewing or for photography. Research astronomers, on the other hand, use various band-pass filters for photometry on telescopes, in order to obtain measurements which reveal objects' astrophysical properties, such as stellar classification and placement of a celestial body on its Wien curve.
Méthode de CondorcetLa méthode Condorcet (aussi appelée scrutin de Condorcet ou vote Condorcet) est un système de vote obéissant au principe de Condorcet qui s'énonce ainsi : Le vainqueur, s'il existe, est donc le candidat qui, comparé tour à tour à chacun des autres candidats, s’avère à chaque fois être le candidat préféré. Autrement dit, il bat tous les autres en duel. Un tel candidat est appelé vainqueur de Condorcet. Rien ne garantit la présence d'un candidat satisfaisant à ce critère de victoire : c'est le paradoxe de Condorcet.
Type I and type II errorsIn statistical hypothesis testing, a type I error is the mistaken rejection of an actually true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding or conclusion; example: "an innocent person is convicted"), while a type II error is the failure to reject a null hypothesis that is actually false (also known as a "false negative" finding or conclusion; example: "a guilty person is not convicted").
False discovery rateIn statistics, the false discovery rate (FDR) is a method of conceptualizing the rate of type I errors in null hypothesis testing when conducting multiple comparisons. FDR-controlling procedures are designed to control the FDR, which is the expected proportion of "discoveries" (rejected null hypotheses) that are false (incorrect rejections of the null). Equivalently, the FDR is the expected ratio of the number of false positive classifications (false discoveries) to the total number of positive classifications (rejections of the null).
