Champernowne Constant
In mathematics, the Champernowne constant is a transcendental real constant whose decimal expansion has important properties. It is named after economist and mathematician D. G. Champernowne, who published it as an undergraduate in 1933. For base 10, the number is defined by concatenating representations of successive integers: : . Champernowne constants can also be constructed in other bases, similarly, for example: : :. The Champernowne word or Barbier word is the sequence of digits of ''C''10 obtained by writing it in base 10 and juxtaposing the digits: : More generally, a ''Champernowne sequence'' (sometimes also called a ''Champernowne word'') is any sequence of digits obtained by concatenating all finite digit-strings (in any given base) in some recursive order. For instance, the binary Champernowne sequence in shortlex order is : where spaces (otherwise to be ignored) have been inserted just to show the strings being concatenated.

Champernowne Distribution
In statistics, the Champernowne distribution is a symmetric, continuous probability distribution, describing random variables that take both positive and negative values. It is a generalization of the logistic distribution that was introduced by D. G. Champernowne. Champernowne developed the distribution to describe the logarithm of income. Definition The Champernowne distribution has a probability density function given by : f(y;\alpha, \lambda, y_0 ) = \frac, \qquad -\infty 0. See also *Generalized logistic distribution The term generalized logistic distribution is used as the name for several different families of probability distributions.

Joan Champernowne
Joan Champernowne, Lady Denny (died 1553) was a lady-in-waiting at the court of King Henry VIII of England. She became a close friend to his sixth wife, Queen Catherine Parr. She married Sir Anthony Denny, who at the end of King Henry's reign was widely considered to be his most trusted servant. Biography Joan was born in Modbury, Devon on an unknown date, but no later than 1513, the daughter of Sir Philip Champernowne and his wife, K(C)atherine Carew. She married Sir Anthony Denny, son of Sir Edmund Denny. In August 1539, she and others ladies of the court visited Portsmouth to see a newly built ship. They sent Henry VIII a joint letter which was signed by Mabel, Lady Southampton, Margaret Tallebois, Margaret Howard (sister of Queen Catherine Howard), Alice Browne, Anne Knyvett (daughter of Thomas Knyvett), "Jane Denny", Jane Meutas, Anne Bassett, Elizabeth Tyrwhitt, and Elizabeth Harvey. She had twelve children, including: * Henry Denny, Dean of Chester (d. 24 March ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kat Ashley
Katherine Astley (née Champernowne; circa 1502 – 18 July 1565), also known as Kat Astley, was the first close friend, governess, and Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Elizabeth I of England. She was the aunt of Katherine Champernowne, who was the mother of Sir Humphrey Gilbert from her first marriage and Walter Raleigh by her second marriage. Parentage Katherine Champernowne's parentage is not known for certain. There are two principal candidates for her father. One is Sir Philip Champernowne, although there is a 1536 letter from Kat to Thomas Cromwell, 1st Earl of Essex which makes reference to her father as having ''"much to do with the little living he has"''. At the time of her birth, Sir Philip's wife, Catherine Carew, was sixteen years of age. However, no contemporary records refer to Kat Ashley and Joan Denny - Sir Philip's daughter - as being sisters. The other candidate is Sir John Champernowne, whose wife was a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
