We define the torsion tensor of an affine connection, i.e. a covariant derivative on the tangent bundle TM of some manifold M. Note that we intentionally do not define the torsion tensor for a connection on a set, as we don't know any actual application of that. (It is easy to add in the future, if need ever arises.)

From the path towards the the Levi-Civita connection and Riemannian geometry.

  • The relative value is the weighted sum of the differences with weight given by the inverse of the current value of the statistic.
  • The absolute value is the relative value divided by the total sum of the inverses of the current values (i.e. the weighted average of the differences).
