Notability date March 2009 The UralicContinuityTheory is a theory about the Uralic languages developed by a group of archaeologists and linguists Who date March 2009 starting in the 1970s. Suggests that the Uralic speaking populations have an uninterrupted history of settlement in their present locations since the Mesolithic . Their precursor populations would have occupied mid eastern Europe in the last glacial maximum and in the Mesolithic would have followed the retreating ice, eventually settling in their present territories. The theory questions the validity of the chronology for the many Uralic loanwords from the contiguous Indo European languages Indo European and Turkic languages . Clarify me date March 2009 Mario Alinei has built on this theory for the purposes of his Paleolithic ContinuityTheory of Indo European origins. References reflist Literature Meinder C, 1973.

In probability theory , if a random variable X has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p , i.e., X is distributed as the number of successes in n independent Bernoulli trial s with probability p of success on each trial, then math P X leq x P X x 1 math for any x 0, 1, 2, ... n . If np and n 1 &minus p are large sometimes taken to mean 5 , then the probability above is fairly well approximated by math P Y leq x 1 2 math where Y is a normal distribution normally distributed random variable with the same expected value and the same variance as X , i.e., E Y np and var Y np 1 &minus p . This addition of 1 2 to x is a continuity correction . A continuity correction can also be applied when other discrete distributions supported on the integers are approximated by the normal distribution. For example, if X has a Poisson distribution with expected value then the variance of X is also , and math P X leq x P X x 1 approx P Y leq x 1 2 math if Y is normally distributed with expectation and variance both . Applications Before the ready availability of statistical software having the ability to evaluate probability distribution functions accurately, continuity corrections played an important role in the practical application of statistical hypothesis test statistical tests in which the test statistic has a discrete distribution it was a special importance for manual calculations. A particular example of this is the binomial test , involving the binomial distribution , as in checking whether a coin is fair . Where extreme accuracy is not necessary, computer calculations for some ranges of parameters may still rely on using continuity corrections to improve accuracy while retaining simplicity.

In electronics , a continuity test is the checking of an electric circuit to see if current electricity current flows that it is in fact a complete circuit . A continuity test is performed by placing a small voltage wired in series with an LED or noise producing component such as a Loudspeakers Piezoelectric speakers piezoelectric speaker across the chosen path. If electron flow is inhibited by broken conductors, damaged components, or excessive electrical resistance resistance , the circuit is open . Devices that can be used to perform continuity tests include multimeter s which measure current and specialized continuity tester s which are cheaper, more basic devices, generally with a simple light bulb that lights up when current flows. An important application is the continuity test of a bundle of wires so as to find the two ends belonging to a particular one of these wires there will be a negligible resistance between the right ends, and only between the right ends.

In mathematical analysis , Lipschitz continuity , named after Rudolf Lipschitz , is a strong form of uniform continuity for function mathematics function s. Intuitively, a Lipschitz continuous function is limited in how fast it can change For every pair of points on the graph of this function, their secant line segment line segment s slope has absolute value no greater than a definite real number this constant, which is the same for all the secants, is called the function s Lipschitz constant or modulus of continuity modulus of uniform continuity . In the theory of differential equation s, Lipschitz continuity is the central condition of the Picard Lindel f theorem which guarantees the existence and uniqueness of the solution to an initial value problem . A special type of Lipschitz continuity, called contraction mapping contraction , is used in the Banach fixed point theorem . The concept of Lipschitz continuity is well defined on metric space s. A generalisation of Lipschitz continuity is called H lder continuity .

In mathematical analysis , Dini continuity is a refinement of continuous function continuity . Definition Let math X math be a compact space compact subset of a metric space such as math mathbb R n math , and let math f X rightarrow X math be a function from math X math into itself. The modulus of continuity of math f math is math omega f t sup x y le t f x f y . , math The function math f math is called Dini continuous if math int 0 1 frac omega f t t ,dt infty. math An equivalent condition is that, for any math theta in 0,1 math , math sum i 1 infty omega f theta i a infty math where math a math is the metric space Bounded and totally bounded spaces diameter of math X math . Properties If math f math is Dini continuous then it is continuous. If math f math is Lipschitz continuous then it is Dini continuous.
