Pointwise mutual information. In statistics, probability theory and information theory, pointwise mutual information ( PMI ), [1] or point mutual information, is a measure of association. It compares the probability of two events occurring together to what this probability would be if the events were independent. [2]
Affinity propagation. In statistics and data mining, affinity propagation (AP) is a clustering algorithm based on the concept of "message passing" between data points. [1] Unlike clustering algorithms such as k -means or k -medoids, affinity propagation does not require the number of clusters to be determined or estimated before running the ...
Every request received by a non-failing node in the system must result in a response. This is the definition of availability in CAP theorem as defined by Gilbert and Lynch. Note that availability as defined in CAP theorem is different from high availability in software architecture. Partition tolerance
An SQL select statement and its result. In computing, a database is an organized collection of data or a type of data store based on the use of a database management system ( DBMS ), the software that interacts with end users, applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze the data. The DBMS additionally encompasses the core ...
Censoring (statistics) In statistics, censoring is a condition in which the value of a measurement or observation is only partially known. For example, suppose a study is conducted to measure the impact of a drug on mortality rate. In such a study, it may be known that an individual's age at death is at least 75 years (but may be more).
In database systems, atomicity ( / ˌætəˈmɪsəti /; from Ancient Greek: ἄτομος, romanized : átomos, lit. 'undividable') is one of the ACID ( Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transaction properties. An atomic transaction is an indivisible and irreducible series of database operations such that either all occur, or none ...
Data anonymization has been defined as a "process by which personal data is altered in such a way that a data subject can no longer be identified directly or indirectly, either by the data controller alone or in collaboration with any other party." [1] Data anonymization may enable the transfer of information across a boundary, such as between ...
Online database. An online database is a database accessible from a local network or the Internet, as opposed to one that is stored locally on an individual computer or its attached storage (such as a CD). Online databases are hosted on websites, made available as software as a service products accessible via a web browser.
