difference between probability distributions
a number that shows how different two probability patterns are

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
In statistics/ML, ‘divergence’ often refers to a family of measures and may not be symmetric (A to B may differ from B to A).
คำพ้องความหมาย
distance (Often used informally; many divergences are not true mathematical distances.)
คำตรงข้าม

6
net outward flow at a point
a math value showing how much a field spreads out
รูปแบบการใช้:
the divergence of [a vector field]

คำพ้องความหมาย
∇·F (Symbolic name for the same operator.)
คำตรงข้าม
curl (Different vector-calculus operator describing rotation, not outflow.)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน

7
price and indicator moving differently
when price and an indicator show different trends

คำพ้องความหมาย
disconnect (More informal; less precise than the charting term.)
คำตรงข้าม
confirmation (When price and indicator support the same trend.)
คำที่ใช้ร่วมกัน

species becoming more different over time
when groups of living things become more different
