R-alpha: a question on terminology
Whereas we typically refer to the add-on `modules' as `libraries' (viz also the way these are represented in the search list, and the variable .Libraries), S speaks about `sections'. Shall we stay with our terminology?

Terminology merging
...hen I''ll try to do my part to upkeep the official glossary of terms in the Wiki. Here are the terms we use internally: * class - a Puppet native that defines a container of resources, such as File resources, Package resources, User resources, custom-defined resources (see also terminology:definitions), etc. A class can inherit from another class using the inherits keyword. * clients - clients are server and/or application owners outside of the ITS Unix group. ** See the corresponding directory in the file hierarchy * declare - a declaration is a term used to indi...

Terminology: Multiple Regression versus multivariate Regression
Hello R-Members, can anyone explain the difference between multiple and multivariate regression to me in terms of the terminology and eventually its respect to the mathematical foundation respectively ? Is multiple regression perhaps more related to GLM and multivariate Regression rather applied, if there are no explizit numeric factor levels ? Thanks for elucidations on that topic. Many thanks and best regrads Bjoern...

RFC: On removing magic numbers assuming 8-bit bytes
I agree, addressable unit size is probably a better abstraction. However, in the lib/CodeGen directory alone, there's some 785 uses of the word "byte" and a significant fraction of the code that we want to modify is using the byte terminology today. An example of unmodified code from my showcase patch set: assert(!(Shift & 0x7) == 0 && "Shifts not aligned on Bytes are not supported."); uint64_t Offset = Shift / 8; unsigned TySizeInBytes = Origin->getValueSizeInBits(0) / 8; assert(!(Or...

Question about terminology
I'm having a minor disagreement with a colleague over terminology. When you have a group of KVM Hosts which have access to the same network and storage (for purposes of migration) yet there is no clusterware or HA software involved...how does one refer to this group of hosts? I call them a "Host Group." He insists on the term "Cluster." To...

Terminology and canonical statistical user literature
Brian Ripley wrote (to somebody asking about "effect sizes"): > ... > Given that, I wonder if you are used to standard terminology. Good point. But I think for many of us there is more behind that. I personally belong to an (apparently fairly large) group of R users who may be enthusiastic, but are statistical laymen due to a lack of formal education in the area. The half-knowledge that I have is often sufficient to see tha...

On retiring some terminology
Hello fellow NUTs :) Some time ago an issue https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/issues/840 was raised, and with current work underway to publish a standard on NUT protocol it became more urgent - to retire the master/slave terminology from NUT configuration and documentation. I looked around for suitable synonyms, and for our primary use-case with upsmon roles - where it either manages an UPS by direct link and tells others to shut down ASAP, or is one of such shutdown agents being told what to do, words "manager" a...

terminology for frames and environments
...ronment be searched? I believe what it is saying is that if inherits is TRUE and it fails to find the variable it will look in the parent environment and the parent of the parent, etc. (as opposed to looking in the calling frame next and the caller of the caller, etc.) Now I thought that standard terminology in R was: 1. enclosing environment or parent environment if one wanted to refer to the parent relative to the parent/child hierarchy of environments or 2. calling frame or parent frame if one wanted to refer to a parent relative to the environments corresponding to the functions in the stack o...

That is terminology from Computer Science. (Decades ago?) It is familiar. Not invented by Cisco. As in, producer-consumer, from the same time.
