Definition of factorial in English:

factorial

noun fakˈtɔːrɪəlfækˈtɔriəl
Mathematics
  • 1The product of an integer and all the integers below it; e.g. factorial four (4!) is equal to 24.

    Example sentencesExamples
    • They learned of each other's discoveries because each of them communicated his work to James Stirling, whose approximation for the factorial is a special case of the Euler-Maclaurin summation.
    • Stirling wrote to De Moivre pointing out some errors that he had made in a table of logarithms of factorials in the book.
    • Now Stirling's formula is a classical approximation for the factorial function, and factorials are one way to evaluate binomial coefficients.
    • The experiment was a completely randomized design, with eight treatment combinations, forming a 4 x 2 factorial (four clones and two watering regimes) with five plants in individual pots per treatment combination as replication.
    • The gamma function is undefined for zero and negative integers, from which we can conclude that factorials of negative integers do not exist.
    1. 1.1 The product of a series of factors in an arithmetical progression.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • ‘A factorial is the product of consecutive numbers from 1 to that particular digit and is represented by placing a‘!’
      • In the proof below, we use the fact that e is the sum of the series of inverted factorials.
adjective fakˈtɔːrɪəlfækˈtɔriəl
Mathematics
  • Relating to a factor or factorial.

    a factorial design
    Example sentencesExamples
    • Around 1926, a British statistician, Ronald Fisher, while working in the field of agriculture, developed a new form of experimentation called two-level factorial design.
    • Experimental designs involving factorial combination of multiple independent variables call for some inventiveness when it comes to graphical presentation of data.
    • Our trial was of factorial design in order to compare three types of treatment within a single trial, in order to derive the maximum amount of data from the minimum number of patients.
    • One possible approach to make this search more systematic is the use of factorial design, which involves a set of experiments intended to identify important effects and interactions.
    • A 2 x 4 x 12 factorial design was used to assess the effects of light, temperature and month, respectively, on the germination of Spergularia marina seeds.

Derivatives

  • factorially

  • adverb
    • Three stimulus frequencies were combined factorially with two input channels (left and right ears) and three measurement procedures.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The shortened 18-item scale is both more reliable and more factorially pure than the original 25-item measure with which it correlates at a.93 level.
      • These two two-level treatments were combined factorially, leading to the following four combinations.
      • The investigation of factorially simple tasks, which are not especially cognitively demanding, has prompted hopes of arriving at a definition of intelligence that is both precise and explanatory.
      • The BES is a factorially derived measure of male and female body esteem.
