About Reverse Index DBMS Reverse Index Search Engine Index search engine Database management systems provide multiple types of index database index es to improve performance and data integrity across diverse application. Index types include b tree s, Bitmap index bitmaps , and r tree s. In database management systems, a reverse key index strategy reverses the Unique key key value before entering it in the Index database index . ref http richardfoote.wordpress.com 2008 01 14 introduction to reverse key indexes part i ref E.g., the value 24538 becomes 83542 in the index. Reversing the key value is particularly useful for indexing data such as sequence number s, where each new key value is greater than the prior value, i.e., values monotonically increase. Reverse key indexes have become particularly important in high volume transaction processing system s because they reduce contention for index Block data storage blocks . Creating data Reversed key indexes use b tree structures, but preprocess key values before inserting them. Simplifying, b trees place similar values on a single index ..., each insert must have access to the newest block in the index in order to add the new value ... index instead of concentrating them in any one leaf block.

Index arbitrage is a subset of statistical arbitrage focusing on index components. The idea is that an index such as S&P 500 or Russell 2000 is made up of several components in the example, 500 large US stocks picked by S&P to represent the US market that influence the index price in a different manner. For instance, there are leaders components that react first to market impact and laggers the opposite . As the index is the weighted sum of all components, identifying leaders and laggers can provide a proprietary trader with the opportunity to take positions in these and make money if he she believes the laggers will eventually rally on the leaders. The challenge being of course to correctly identify these, and to have the technology to act in the marketplace before the price correction takes place. Other types of index arbitrage include basis trading , the arbitrage between a current index value synthetic replication synthetically replicated and that of its future.

The protective index is a comparison of the amount of a therapeutic agent that causes the therapeutic effect to the amount that causes toxicity. Quantitatively, it is the ratio given by the toxic dose divided by the therapeutic dose. A protective index is the toxic dose of a drug for 50 of the population TD50 TD sub 50 sub divided by the minimum effective dose for 50 of the population ED 50 ED sub 50 sub . A high protective index is preferable to a low one this corresponds to a situation in which one would have to take a much higher dose of a drug to reach the toxic threshold than the dose taken to elicit the therapeutic effect. A drug should ordinarily only be administered if the protective index is greater than one, indicating that the benefit outweighs the risk. math mbox Protective index frac mathrm TD 50 mathrm ED 50 math The protective index is similar to the therapeutic index , but concerns toxicity TD50 TD sub 50 sub rather than lethality LD50 thus, the protective index is a smaller ratio. Toxicity can take many forms, as drugs typically have multiple side effects of varying severity, so a specific criterion of toxicity must be specified for the protective index to be meaningful. Ideally a choice is made such that the harm caused by the toxicity just outweighs the benefit of the drug s effect. Thus, the protective index is a more accurate measure of the benefit to risk ratio than the therapeutic index, but is less objectively defined. Nevertheless, the therapeutic index can be viewed as an upper bound to the protective index for a given substance. Pharmacology Category Pharmacology pharma stub ... more details

The index of dissimilarity is a demographic measure of the evenness with which two groups are distributed across the component geographic areas that make up a larger area. The index score can also be interpreted as the percent age of one of the two groups included in the calculation that would have to move to different geographic areas in order to produce a distribution that matches that of the other group. The index of dissimilarity can also be used as a measure of inequality. The basic formula for the index of dissimilarity is math frac 1 2 sum i 1 N left frac b i B frac w i W right math where comparing a black and white population, for example b sub i sub the black population of the i sup th sup area, e.g. census tract B the total black population of the large geographic entity for which the index of dissimilarity is being calculated. w sub i sub the white population of the i sup th sup area W the total white population of the large geographic entity for which the index of dissimilarity is being calculated. The ID is applicable to any categorical variable whether demographic or not and because of its simple properties is useful for input into multidimensional scaling and clustering programs. It has been used extensively in the study of social mobility to compare distributions of origin or destination occupational categories.
