  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prentice's rule, named so after the optician Charles F. Prentice, is a formula used to determine the amount of induced prism in a lens: = where: P is the amount of prism correction (in prism dioptres) c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres)

  3. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    Amblyopia. Anisometropia is a condition in which a person's eyes have substantially differing refractive power. [1] Generally, a difference in power of one diopter (1D) is the threshold for diagnosis of the condition . [2] [3] Patients may have up to 3D of anisometropia before the condition becomes clinically significant due to headache, eye ...

  4. Free-air gravity anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-air_gravity_anomaly

    The free air correction is calculated from Newton's Law, as a rate of change of gravity with distance: g = G M R 2 d g d R = − 2 G M R 3 = − 2 g R {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}g&={\frac {GM}{R^{2}}}\\{\frac {dg}{dR}}&=-{\frac {2GM}{R^{3}}}=-{\frac {2g}{R}}\end{aligned}}}

  5. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called ...

  6. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

  7. Greenhouse–Geisser correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse–Geisser...

    The Greenhouse–Geisser correction ^ is a statistical method of adjusting for lack of sphericity in a repeated measures ANOVA. The correction functions as both an estimate of epsilon (sphericity) and a correction for lack of sphericity.

  8. Pressure-correction method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-correction_method

    The correction for the velocity that is obtained from the second equation one has with incompressible flow, the non-divergence criterion or continuity equation. is computed by first calculating a residual value , resulting from spurious mass flux, then using this mass imbalance to get a new pressure value. The pressure value that is attempted ...

    Calculate U 1, U 2 and L, and set initial value of λ = L. Then iteratively evaluate the following equations until λ converges: sin ⁡ σ = ( cos ⁡ U 2 sin ⁡ λ ) 2 + ( cos ⁡ U 1 sin ⁡ U 2 − sin ⁡ U 1 cos ⁡ U 2 cos ⁡ λ ) 2 {\displaystyle \sin \sigma ={\sqrt {\left(\cos U_{2}\sin \lambda \right)^{2}+\left(\cos U_{1}\sin U_{2 ...

  10. Šidák correction for t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šidák_correction_for_t-test

    Šidák correction for t-test. One of the application of Student's t-test is to test the location of one sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. If we want to test the locations of multiple sequences of such variables, Šidák correction should be applied in order to calibrate the level of the Student's t-test.
