; Random error: Error that occurs due to natural variation in the process.

Random error is also called experimental error.

Random errors will tend to cancel out as more measurements are made, due to regression to the mean ; systematic errors will be detected by differences between the measurements ( and will also tend to cancel out since the direction of the error will still be random ).

Random error often occurs when instruments are pushed to their limits.

Random mutations and sexual genetic variations can be viewed as trials and poor reproductive fitness, or lack of improved fitness, as the error.

* Random lockup, runtime error fix

Random error is caused by unpredictable fluctuations in the readings of a measurement apparatus, or in the experimenter's interpretation of the instrumental reading ; these fluctuations may be in part due to interference of the environment with the measurement process.

Random error is always present in a measurement.

Random error is always present in a measurement.

Random sampling, and its derived terms such as sampling error, imply specific procedures for gathering and analyzing data that are rigorously applied as a method for arriving at results considered representative of a given population as a whole.

Random sampling ( and sampling error ) can only be used to gather information about a single defined point in time.

The out of print Random House publication of The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition is widely regarded as the most accurate and least redacted of any English language edition and is sought after on that basis by scholars and collectors.

** Anomalous dynamics ( Random walk # Anomalous diffusion ), the stochastic motion of objects with mean squared displacement ( MSD ) that deviates from the relation for normal dynamics, MSD ~ t, where t is the time the process is seen ; anomalous dynamics are either faster than normal dynamics ( MSD > t ) or slower ( MSD < t )

: Random assignment is the process of assigning individuals at random to groups or to different groups in an experiment.

" The 2009 Random House Dictionary states the word is offensive, and the 2009 Compact Oxford English Dictionary defines it as derogatory in nature.

Random access is critical, or at least valuable, to many algorithms such as binary search, integer sorting or certain versions of sieve of Eratosthenes.

In 1984 Inge Telnaes received a patent for a device titled, " Electronic Gaming Device Utilizing a Random Number Generator for Selecting the Reel Stop Positions " ( US Patent 4448419 ), which states: “ It is important to make a machine that is perceived to present greater chances of payoff than it actually has within the legal limitations that games of chance must operate .” The patent was later bought by International Game Technology and has since expired.

It is important that the machine contains a high-quality RNG implementation, because all PRNGs must eventually repeat their number sequence ( see Art of Computer Programming Volume 2 Chapter 3, Random numbers ), and if the period is short, or the PRNG is otherwise flawed, an advanced player may be able to ' predict ' the next result.

" In military theory, strategy is " the utilization during both peace and war, of all of the nation's forces, through large scale, long-range planning and development, to ensure security and victory " ( Random House Dictionary ).

Random Jitter, also called Gaussian jitter, is unpredictable electronic timing noise.

Random edge corrugation whose amplitude is of the same order as the width of that adjacent Fresnel zone reduces the Arago spot intensity.

It is also used as an optional Random Number Generator in SPSS set through " Transform " menu.

Random assignment is uncommon.

One day, Trillian arrives on Lamuella, and presents Arthur with Random Dent, a teenage girl she claims is his daughter, conceived by Trillian via artificial insemination using the only human sperm samples available, those given by Arthur to pay for his space travels.

Random variables are typically classified as either discrete or continuous.

Random jitter typically follows a Gaussian distribution or Normal distribution.

Random oracles are a mathematical abstraction used in cryptographic proofs ; they are typically used when no known implementable function provides the mathematical properties required by the proof.

Random noise is typically less objectionable than the harmonic tones produced by limit cycles.

Random numbers typically go through several layers of hardware and software before they are used.

In either case, the purchaser will need to obtain and install whatever parts are not included in the barebones kit ( typically the hard drive, Random Access Memory, peripheral devices, and operating system ).

Random variables are assumed to have the following properties:

Random number games may be played at a table, such as roulette, or through the purchase of paper tickets or cards, such as keno or bingo.

Random does not mean haphazard, and great care must be taken that appropriate random methods are used.

Random pattern, single-ion track structures and aimed pattern consisting of individual single tracks can be generated.

Random variables can be classified as either discrete ( i. e. it may assume any of a specified list of exact values ) or as continuous ( i. e. it may assume any numerical value in an interval or collection of intervals ).

Random microsatellite primers can be developed by cloning random segments of DNA from the focal species.

Random variables corresponding to various times ( or points, in the case of random fields ) may be completely different.

Random vectors can be subjected to the same kinds of algebraic operations as can non-random vectors: addition, subtraction, multiplication by a scalar, and the taking of inner products.

Random padding of messages, random delays before forwarding, and encryption of forwarding information between forwarding remailers, increases the degree of difficulty for attackers still further as message size and timing can be largely eliminated as traffic analysis clues, and lack of easily readable forwarding information renders ineffective simple automated traffic analysis algorithms.

Tricia finds Random leaving the ship, and the girl believes Tricia to be her mother, and starts yelling at her.

Random assignments must be remembered by the load balancer, which creates a burden on storage.

) They meet up with Fiona and discover that the Logrus is making an attempt to damage Corwin's Pattern: but Merlin refuses to help Mandor and Fiona learn more, and returns to Amber, only to be embroiled in diplomatic controversy: in order to avoid Luke's possible accession to the throne of the Shadow kingdom Kashfa, Random is playing politics to put his own candidate on the throne, and the neighbouring kingdom of Begma objects to that particular candidate's territorial ambitions.

Note: The character of Lana will not be seen again until the season six episode “ Random ’ s Child ”.

In his book A Random Walk Down Wall Street, Princeton economist Burton Malkiel said that technical forecasting tools such as pattern analysis must ultimately be self-defeating: " The problem is that once such a regularity is known to market participants, people will act in such a way that prevents it from happening in the future.

Random optimization ( RO ) is a family of numerical optimization methods that do not require the gradient of the problem to be optimized and RO can hence be used on functions that are not continuous or differentiable.

Random number generators can also be built from " random " macroscopic processes, using devices such as coin flipping, dice, roulette wheels and lottery machines.
