Caractéristiques d'asymétrie. Coefficients d'asymétrie. Il s'agit: - d'apprécier si la fonction de distribution [...] admet un axe de symétrie; - dans la négative, de préciser si son sommet (correspondant au mode) est désaxé vers la gauche, ou vers la droite; - et, enfin, de mesurer ces particularités par un nombre sans dimension. C'est la position du mode par rapport à la moyenne (ou à la médiane) qui caractérise l'asymétrie [...] 5, record 1, French, - asym%C3%A9trie

[La] dimension d'étalement [est] définie de façon analogue à la dimension fractale, à l'exception que la distance n'est pas mesurée dans l'espace euclidien où le fractal est inséré, mais plutôt en unités du nombre de «liens» minimum qu'il faut franchir sur le fractal lui-même pour aller d'un point à l'autre. C'est la dimension qui est pertinente pour discuter des feux de forêts! 3, record 3, French, - dimension%20non%20sym%C3%A9trique
