Grouping Definition and 29 Threads

Hello to everyone! I'm having a problem, banal in form, but perhaps complex in practical application. Let's suppose we have 300 functions $$y = f (x)$$ of random trend and we want to group these functions into 10 subgroups (each group consisting of 30 functions). However, this grouping must...

Hi All, Is there a technique other than PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to decide whether it is somehow reasonable to group together , aka " collapse" several non-continuous ( Categorical, Likert, Ordinal, etc. ) into a single one. The idea is, of course, to lose only a negligible amount of...

does anyone have any information on why the vast majority of exoplanets are located in one spot? any papers on the topic? the following link does not graph RA vs DEC but instead does something about planet size, if you wish to use it please select RA for the x-axis and DEC for the y-axis, both...

Factor 8a^3 + 27b^3 + 2a + 3b. 8a^3 + 2a + 27b^3 + 3b 2a(4a^2 + 1) = Group A 3b(9b^2 + 1) = Group B (4a^2 + 1)(9b^2 + 1)(2a + 3b) Correct?

Precalculus by David Cohen, 3rd Edition Chapter 1, Section 1.3. Question 48. Factor the expression by grouping. a^2t^2 + b^2t^2 - cb^2 - ca^2 Group A = a^2t^2 + b^2t^2 Group A = t^2(a^2 + b^2) Group B = -cb^2 - ca^2 Group B = -c(b^2 + a^2) Group B = -c(a^2 + b^2) Group A - Group B...

Homework Statement Homework Equations Summation The Attempt at a Solution I know I could have simplified (3n-2)^3 +(3n-1)^3 -(3n)^3 and put the formulas in but I wonder is there any other method (I was thinking about grouping the terms, but to no avail) to work this out.

Hi all, I am looking for an efficient solution to solve the following problem. Can anybody help? Assume a set S of elements ki and a set V of possible groupings Gj. A grouping Gj is a subset of S. Associate a weight wij to each mapping ki to Gj. The weights are infinite if ki ⊄ Gj, and finite...

The simple algorithm shown in the uploaded file generates a nice grouping of primes under 105.

I am staring a course in graphical modelling, and I have no idea what this is. For example, if I is a fixed grouping factor, and Y is a response, then it is natural to examine the densities fY/I (y/i) for each level i of I. Thanks!

how would i go about properly grouping terms to start my factoring? 1. $12x^2y^3-24y^3z-6x^6+30y^4-15x^4y+4x^2y+12x^4z+10y^2-8yz$ thanks!

In some papers I've read, I've seen the authors write down all of the units at the end. For example ##F=ma = 2.3*424.3 [kg*m/s^2]## In high school, I've never seen the teachers or textbooks write like this. How common is this is method? Assuming one keeps track of their units properly, I...

Good Day, My friends and I are stuck on solving the last part of the attached problem. The solution is 2^[(n^2 + n)/2] - 1. Can anyone help us with solving this? Thanks & Regards, Nicodemus

Hi everyone! Let me introduce myself, my name is Francisco and I'm an architecture student. I've recently become interested in algorithmic design, which is basically utilizing math to help design (an example would be structure or space optimization). To contextualize, I am a noob with...

I have a set of retail data explaining how many sales per store occurred during each week of the past 52 weeks. I want to group these stores by which follow each other the best over the course of the year. Let's say they'll be 10-20 stores in each group, although this number will be refined...

What, other than recoil, the user's unsteady hands and gravity, causes bullets to impact different places on the target?

I was just playing around with sed regular expressions and found something I wouldn't have expected. What is the difference between /\.[^.]*$/ and /(\.[^.]*)$/? Does the latter group it incorrectly somehow. Note that the former does what I want it to, to match an extension of a file...

I recently read a book on the theory of intelligence by Jeff Hawkins aptly titled 'On Intelligence' which I highly recommend. In it, Hawkins posits that the basis of human intelligence lies in the hierarchical structure of the neocortex. Reading this book started me thinking about whether...

I'm working through Srednicki's QFT text, and I'm continuously vexed by the various numerical factors in diagrams and vertices, as well as the grouping of diagrams. For example, in Chapter 10 (pg 75) Srednicki treats basic \phi\phi\rightarrow\phi\phi scattering processes in \phi^3. He claims...

Hi, An old GRE problem asks what the moment of inertia of seven pennies, arranged in a hexagon with one in the center, all touching each others' edges is, about the axis that passes through the center of the central penny and is normal to the plane of the pennies. Each penny is a uniform...

Nucleas Grouping?? Why do we say a nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons when those protons and neutrons are themselves composed of quarks? Is there really grouping to these protons and neutrons or do we just say it is composed of protons and neutrons for convenience (and that it is...

How many groups size m can you make from n elements (m<n) such that each element is used the same number of times t (t>0)? For instance, if you have 8 teams and group them in triplets, how many triplets do you need so that each team plays the same number of times?

Doing a homework crossword and this is the last problem. I can't seem to find it anywhere. An efficient grouping of cardiac muscle cells, eight letters long ending in M. Any help would be much appreciated.

For some reason, the code I has compiles, but it just doesn't seem to do what it should. The code I have atm, involves opening a file of numbers, reading the numbers, and sorting them into groups. int nmax; // This is the number of lines in the file int i...

The number of ways in which 12 people may be divided into 3 equal groups is_ My ans is 12C4*8C4*4C4=34650. But my test book contains the answer 5775. So iam confused. Is my answer correct or am i missing something?

Some big matrix, like 4x4 ones, can be written as groups of 2x2 matrices. For example, H = \left(\begin{array}{cccc}1 & 0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0 & 1\\1 & 0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right) = \left(\begin{array}{cc}1 & 1\\1 & 1\end{array}\right) where the 1 in the last matrix represents...
