New York State Identification and Intelligence System Phonetic Code (NYSIIS)

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

A phonetic algorithm that convert a name to a phonetic coding of up to six characters. NYSIIS was devised in 1970 as part of the New York State Identification and Intelligence System (now a part of ...

build-heap

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Convert an array into a heap by executing heapify progressively closer to the root. For an array of n nodes, this takes O(n) time under the comparison model.

bucketing method

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Data organization methods that decompose the space from which spatial data is drawn into regions called buckets. Some conditions for the choice of region boundaries include the number of objects that ...

one-dimensional

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Dealing with or restricted to a line. An organization where location can be completely described with exactly one axis.

two-dimensional

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Dealing with or restricted to a plane. An organization where location can be completely described with exactly two orthogonal axes.

three-dimensional

Computer science; Algorithms & data structures

Dealing with or restricted to a space in which location can be completely described with exactly three orthogonal axes.
