We can compare discrete and continuous data by looking at how water comes out of a tap. A dripping tap shows discrete data, because each individual drop can be counted. The data collected will simply ...

The following section discusses the statistical tests performed in the MULTTEST procedure. For continuous data, a t-test for the mean is available. For discrete variables, available tests are the ...

Classifying a variable as a particular type of data is important when considering how to present the data. Data can be presented in a number of ways, which depends on the type of variable and the uses ...

A generalized distance for discrete variables which is analogous to the Mahalanobis generalized distance is presented. Comparisons are made with other distance measures which are closely related and ...

A method to replace a continuous univariate distribution with a discrete distribution that takes MN different values is analysed. Both distributions share the same rth moments for r = 0,..., 2N - 1 ...

The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...
