Discrepancy of a sequence In mathematics, a sequence (''s''1, ''s''2, ''s''3, ...) of real numbers is said to be equidistributed, or uniformly distributed, if the proportion of terms falling in a subinterval is proportional to the length of that subinterval. Such sequences ...

Discrepancy theory
In mathematics, discrepancy theory describes the deviation of a situation from the state one would like it to be in. It is also called the theory of irregularities of distribution. This refers to the theme of ''classical'' discrepancy theory, nam ...

Discrepancy of hypergraphs
Discrepancy of hypergraphs is an area of discrepancy theory that studies the discrepancy of general set systems.
Definitions
In the classical setting, we aim at partitioning the vertices of a hypergraph \mathcal=(V, \mathcal) into two classes ...

Deviation (statistics)
In mathematics and statistics, deviation serves as a measure to quantify the disparity between an observed value of a variable and another designated value, frequently the mean of that variable. Deviations with respect to the sample mean and the ...

Divergence (statistics)
In information geometry, a divergence is a kind of statistical distance: a binary function which establishes the separation from one probability distribution to another on a statistical manifold.
The simplest divergence is squared Euclidean di ...
