Classification Definition and 110 Threads

I have noticed that some individuals here at PF are electrons, some quarks others are various other kinds of entities. I sense that it is some kind ranking system? How does it work and what is the full system of classification?

Now we have a particle-antiparticle asymmetry problem. But, if we define electron and neutrino as antiparticle, will there be a problem? Original formula Modified formula Original formula Modified formula If the classification of electron and neutrino is changed to antiparticles, the...

Hello everyone, I would like to ask for opinions/expertises about the way of classifying quarks and leptons using linear canonical transformations spin representation as explainedin this link https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_canonical_transformation Are the statements true ? Please find...

Hello. Decision trees are really cool. They can be used for either regression or classification. They are built with nodes and each node represents an if-then statement that gets evaluated to be either true or false. Does that mean there are always and only two edges/branches coming out of an...

Summary:: When we have only three classes (Orange, Banana and Other) and three features (Long, Sweet and Yellow), why P(Other|Long, Sweet, Yellow) + P(Banana|Long, Sweet, Yellow) is not equal to 1 when P(Orange|Long, Sweet, Yellow) = 0 ? In this example...

Hello. When does someone know a classification of some kind of mathematical objects has been completed? For example of differentiable manifolds, or abelian groups or ordered fields? Thank you.

Hello, I started studying machine learning and its basics. One of the applications of supervised learning ML is classification, i.e. identifying different objects and classify them. Being supervised means that the ML algorithm is initially served labelled data. The labelled data is used to a)...

Imagine that you are a librarian or a book-seller, and you come across a book which is a cross between mathematical fiction and mathematics popularization: that is, it is heavier on the mathematics explanations than a work of fiction has a right to be, yet it is heavier on plot, much of which...

Hi all, When I first learned about cladistics, it seemed like an elegant and objective way of classifying life - forget about subjective physical similarities, classify purely based on scientifically testable ancestry, and have all taxa be monophyletic clades, so everything in one taxon is more...

I got a gesture sensor module that produces a signal per event. The each signal is a set of regularly sampled readings from four photodiodes. The number of samples per event can be very different, from around 20 up to over 100, and each sample value is essentially the measured brightness...

Hi everyone, I've been working on developing a crypto-currency called eQualityCoin for a while now and hoped someone here might be able to help me "classify" the system in a formal mathematical sense. The system's main feature is a simple rule for how it determines a purchaser's exchange...

Hello all. I have a question concerning the classification of simple machines, of which classically there are considered to be 6. I have joined the camp which claims there are only 2 true simple machine categories at the most fundamental level. The lever and the inclined plane. I will be happy...

Hi everyone, I am looking at an interesting problem at work, and I would like to hear your opinion about it, please. I'll try to explain it as concisely as I can. We took about 2500 chemical compounds and we tested them in some 'phenotypic assays'. The assays give as output an activity value...

Hi there dr/dz+z^2=0 is classified as a non-homogeneous in Glyn James text, can someone clarify this? Cheers Petra d.

Hi there, I was reading up on how planets are classified based on their size, but ran into a problem when I began to consider rogue celestial bodies. If a body has significant enough mass to maintain a hydrostatic equilibrium, yet doesn't orbit a star, I understand that it's classified as a...

Eukaryotes are classified into unicellular and multicellular,what makes this classification so important?

Good Morning. I need some help according to how to classify the multipartite state. from my reading, the classification according to Local Unitary (LU) and stochastic local operation and classical communication (SLOCC). How the state can be classify from LU to SLOCC?

"Looking at time behaviour of neutrons in a reactor on time scales of both ~sec and ~days/months Start with fission process e.g. 235U + n -> 236U ->fission Usually divide into 2 Fission Fragments 10%-20% of fission emit a scission neutron (i.e. at time of scission)" I've heard...

I'm asking this mainly to engineers but anyone can answer. How important is the classification of degree that you receive and what has it's impact been on your career? I plan to work in industry and eventually towards chartered/professional status then management positions. For my MEng...

I need a link or questions on periodic trends or periodic properties like on atomic radius,ionic radius,ionization energy,electron affinity,electropositivity and electonegativity Thanks Nusaiba mustafa

Typically in problems involving binary classification (i.e. radar detection, medical testing), one will try to find a binary classification scheme that minimizes the total probability of error. For example, consider a radar detection system where a signal is corrupted with noise, so that if the...

Hello It is my understanding that the matter originally contained in a dying star which formed a black hole has been entirely converted to energy in the form of space time curvature. In other words the matter no longer exists and all that is left is the curvature of spacetime. Aside from my...

I am slightly confused about what the term 'astronomical telescope' covers. My textbook seems to be implying that astronomical telescopes are refracting telescopes with an objective and eyepiece lens, and reflecting telescopes are separate to astronomical telescopes. On the other hand I have...

Hi all, Let X be a nice-enough topological space so that it admits a universal cover ## \tilde X ## When does a homeomorphism ## h: X \rightarrow X ## give rise to a homeomorphism of the universal cover to itself, i.e., we have ## p: \tilde X \rightarrow X ## , then, by lifting...

I know what a Weyl anomaly is. I see terms like "type-A" anomaly and "D-type" anomalies in the literature. What does this classification refer to, and where was it originally introduced? Specifically, what does a D-type Weyl anomaly mean?

Is there a specific limit that defines the boundaries of each classification category? For example, a main sequence G class star is between X and Y temperatures and has an absolute magnitude between A and B Solar units. Or, an O hypergiant is between X and Y temperatures and has an...

Hi guys i wanted to clear out some confusion, Suppose $\text{z=a}$ is a simple pole, my Professor classify it as follows: Simple Pole at z=a Type 1: $$f(z)=(z-a)^{-1}g(z),g\in H(D(a;r)):$$ $$Res\{f(z);a\}=g(a)$$ Type 2: $$f(z)=\frac{h(z)}{k(z)},h(a)\neq 0,k(a)=0,k^{'}(a)\neq 0:$$...
