Numerical cognitionNumerical cognition is a subdiscipline of cognitive science that studies the cognitive, developmental and neural bases of numbers and mathematics. As with many cognitive science endeavors, this is a highly interdisciplinary topic, and includes researchers in cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, neuroscience and cognitive linguistics. This discipline, although it may interact with questions in the philosophy of mathematics, is primarily concerned with empirical questions.
Semi-differentiabilityIn calculus, a branch of mathematics, the notions of one-sided differentiability and semi-differentiability of a real-valued function f of a real variable are weaker than differentiability. Specifically, the function f is said to be right differentiable at a point a if, roughly speaking, a derivative can be defined as the function's argument x moves to a from the right, and left differentiable at a if the derivative can be defined as x moves to a from the left.
Droits des ÉtatsDans la politique aux États-Unis, le terme « droits des États » (states' rights) fait référence à la souveraineté individuelle des gouvernements des États américains vis-à-vis de l'État fédéral. La répartition des pouvoirs est déterminée par la Constitution, reflétant notamment les pouvoirs énumérés du Congrès et le Dixième amendement. La question des droits des États fut l'un des principaux arguments négationnistes du mouvement néo-confédéré, qui a cherché à légitimer a posteriori la « Cause perdue » de la Confédération, en niant le fait que l'esclavage fut la cause principale de la guerre de Sécession.
Simple linear regressionIn statistics, simple linear regression is a linear regression model with a single explanatory variable. That is, it concerns two-dimensional sample points with one independent variable and one dependent variable (conventionally, the x and y coordinates in a Cartesian coordinate system) and finds a linear function (a non-vertical straight line) that, as accurately as possible, predicts the dependent variable values as a function of the independent variable. The adjective simple refers to the fact that the outcome variable is related to a single predictor.
