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, name ...

Discrepancy of hypergraphs Discrepancy of hypergraphs is an area of discrepancy theory.
Definitions
In the classical setting, we aim at partitioning the vertices of a hypergraph \mathcal=(V, \mathcal) into two classes in such a way that ideally each hyperedge contains th ...

Discrepancy (algebraic geometry) In algebraic geometry, given a pair (''X'', ''D'') consisting of a normal variety ''X'' and a \mathbb-divisor ''D'' on ''X'' (e.g., canonical divisor), the discrepancy of the pair (''X'', ''D'') measures the degree of the singularity of the pair.

Discrepancy function In structural equation modeling, a discrepancy function is a mathematical function which describes how closely a structural model conforms to observed data; it is a measure of goodness of fit. Larger values of the discrepancy function indicate a poo ...
