Teelscoping Series

Last edited: August 8, 2025

…is a series for which pairs cancel out:

\begin{equation} (1-x)(1+x+ \dots + x^{n-1}) \end{equation}

you will note that, though the expansion of this result, pairs of:

\begin{equation} -x^{j} + x^{j} \end{equation}

form. And you will note those cancel. Hence this is a telescoping series.

Term-Document Matrix

Last edited: August 8, 2025

A Term-Document Matrix is a boolean matrix of: rows—“terms”, the search keywords—and columns—“documents”, which is the document. Each element \((x,y)\) is \(1\) if \(y\) contains term \(x\), and \(0\) otherwise.

To perform a search, we take a boolean operation over each row (usually either complement for NOT or identity), and AND it with all other terms. The resulting boolean string are the valid documents.

Notably, this is quite intractable because the matrix is quite (words times documents) blows up. However, this representation is QUITE SPARSE. So, ideally we only store it sparsely.

test for normality (statistics)

Given what you claim as a normal distribution, we can test for its normality. Any distribution you claim as normal has to follow that:

\begin{equation} np \geq 10 & n(1-p) \geq 10 \end{equation}

that number of successes and failures need both be greater than or equal to ten.
