	Principal value - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In considering complex multiple-valued functions in complex analysis, the principal values of a function are the values along one chosen branch of that function, so it is single-valued.
		For simplicity, the branch corresponding to k=0 is known as the principal branch, and along this branch, the values the function takes are known as the principal values.
		Determining the principal value of some of these functions can be obtained by decomposing the function into simpler ones whereby the principal value of the simple functions are straightforward to obtain.

	7501.0 - Value of Principal Agricultural Commodities Produced, Australia, Preliminary, 2004-05
		In 2004-05, the preliminary estimate of the gross value of agricultural commodities produced fell by $1.3 billion (4%) to $35.6 billion.
		In 2004-05, the preliminary estimate of the gross value of crops decreased by 13% to $17.8 billion.
		However, increases were reported in the gross value of sugar cane cut for crushing (up 17% to $998 million), due mainly to a 12% increase in average price; and in the gross value of cotton (up 16% to $873 million), with a 57% rise in production partly offset by a fall in average price.

		Freezes, for property tax purposes, value of principal residence of senior citizen, age 65 or older, at value for 1999-2000 tax year, for year in which senior citizen turns 65 or for year in which senior citizen first owns and occupies principal residence, whichever is later.
		The percentage of the assessed value of the common elements and tax lot that is added to the assessed value of the residence unit shall be computed by dividing the assessed value of the residence unit by the total assessed value of the building exclusive of the common elements, if any.
		If a senior citizen is temporarily absent from the principal residence, or if the senior citizen is absent from the principal residence due to illness, the senior citizen shall nevertheless be considered an occupant of the property.

	Par Value
		A standard coupon bond, on the other hand, is designed to be sold for some par value, pay periodic coupon payments equal to a percentage of that par value, and then return the par value to the investor at maturity.
		However, "principal" is still often used synonymously with "par value" in situations where the actual principal amount does approximate the par value.
		However, in the case of a discount instrument, par value is the instrument's maturity value, which is very different from the investor's principal investment.

	Tips on TIPS
		And, at the end of the term, the principal would be higher than the principal from other traditional Treasury securities, such as bonds and notes, that carry a fixed interest rate and a fixed principal.
		Because the TIPS principal grows with inflation, your principal at the end of the 10-year term could be significantly higher than it was at the beginning.
		The value of the principal is adjusted to reflect the effects of inflation.

	Stable Value vs. Money Market Funds
		Strong positive cash flows into stable value portfolios in the first quarter of 2001 exemplifies that plan participants are once again recognizing the importance of allocating a portion of their portfolio to a fixed, stable component.
		If the book value guarantee did not exist and the underlying securities in stable value were marked to market, the performance and volatility of a typical stable value fund would more closely approximate that of an intermediate term bond fund.
		Principal preservation refers to a stable value portfolio's ability to grow at a market rate of interest while maintaining its principal value.

	Visual formatting model
		If this property has the value 'auto', the user agent supplies the initial width (e.g., the user agent uses the current width of the viewport).
		Several values of the 'display' property make an element block-level: 'block', 'list-item', 'compact' and 'run-in' (part of the time; see compact and run-in boxes), and 'table'.
		The value 'justify' doesn't apply, and is handled as either 'left' or 'right', depending on the 'direction' of the block-level element in whose margin the compact element is formatted.

		This is the value of the square root of (4/pi) times the integral from 0 to x of e^(-u^2) with respect to u, at x = r for r>0, and for r<0 it is defined by erf(x)= - erf(- x), while erf(0)=0.
		This is the value of y = (erfc)(x) = 1 - erf(x).
		These functions calculate values of the Riemann zeta-function, which is the analytic continuation of zeta(z) = the sum from i equals 1 to infinity of 1 / i^n (convergent for Re(z)> 1).

	Stable Value Investment Association - The Case for Stable Value in College Savings Plans
		The purpose of this paper is to provide a greater understanding of what stable value is, how it works, and how it can be applied to help states attract more funds and participants to their 529 plans, while better assisting participants in the achievement of their college savings goals.
		This ensures that the full value of principal and accumulated interest is available when it's needed, and eliminates the possibility of having to liquidate stocks or bonds during a market downturn.
		Because stable value is a proven performer in defined contribution retirement plans, and retirement plan characteristics closely parallel those of 529 plans, the benefits of stable value can be effectively transferred to college savings funds.

	notional value/principal
		A way of measurng the size of a derivative is to measure the “notional value" of the assets underlying its.
		$250,000 is the notional value underlying the futures contract.
		Finally, multiplying this notional value by the open interest, gives the total value of the assets underlying the contract.

	LowRate.com - Get a low rate on a mortgage, debt consolidation loan, or credit card
		Principal, interest, property taxes and insurance, abbreviated PITI, are the four components of your monthly mortgage payments.
		When you have closed escrow and mortgage payments begin, the lender collects the principal and interest on the mortgage, both of which contribute to the amortization of your loan.
		Principal: This is the total amount of the home cost, less your down payment.

		Principal Identifiers may be arbitrary labels whose structure is not interpreted by the KeyNote system or they may encode cryptographic keys that are used by KeyNote for credential signature verification.
		Values are separated with commas; applications that use assertions that make use of the _VALUES attribute should therefore avoid the use of compliance value strings that themselves contain commas.
		Delegation of some authorization from principal to a set of principals is expressed as an assertion with principal given in the Authorizer field, principal set given in the Licensees field, and the authorization to be delegated encoded in the Conditions field.

	Statistics 407 - Reducing Dimensionality - 9/30
		The second principal component can be described as the prowess at short distance events but lack of prowess at long distance events, that is, a country that has a high value on principal component 2 is good at short distance events but not so good at long distance events, relative to itself.
		High values for these three short distance events and low values for the other events will give a high value for the second principal component, and vice versa for a low value on the second principal component.
		When using a few principal components instead of all the variables it is customary to make some interpretation of what the new variables, for example, the first component might be "animal size", the second might be "animal shape".

	Present Value and CAGR Formula and Calculator / Graph
		Present Value is like Future Value in reverse: you assume you already know the future value of your investment, and want to know what your starting principal will have to be in order to reach your goal in the desired amount of time.
		Solving for either the present value or the interest rate may seem like a pretty backwards way of doing things, but these are very useful techniques.
		You find the equivalent rate of return when you want to know the yield to maturity of a bond at a given market price; and you calculate the present values of future company earnings when you want to know the fair value of a share of stock.

	Singular value decomposition and principal component analysis
		The higher principal components of the dynamics were found to correspond to large-scale motions of the protein.
		Visualization of the first three principal components revealed an interesting type of trajectory that was described as resembling beads on a string, and revealed a visibly sparse sampling of the configuration space.
		One approach is to ignore components beyond where the cumulative relative variance or singular value becomes larger than a certain threshold, usually defined upon the dimensionality of the data.

		Increases in the principal value of the bonds based on the level of inflation over the life of the bond.
		When the bond is first issued the principal value or par value is $1,000 per bond.
		Any increases in the principal value due to changes in the CPI are also taxable in the year of the increase but not at maturity.

		PRESENT VALUE OF AN ANNUITY - Amount to be deposited today so that equal payments can be paid out at regular intervals over the life of the annuity, or, in terms of an annuity purchased by the bank, it is the amount of the loan (sale price - down payment).
		Ordinary annuities may be concerned with a present value or a future value but always involve a sequence of equal periodic payments.
		If a sequence of periodic payments is involved, determine if the payments are being made into an account that is increasing in value (a future value problem) or if payments are being made out of an account that is decreasing in value (a present value problem).

		This payment is converted into principal so that so that the same payment rate (applied to the new larger amount of principal) will generate a larger payment for the second half of the year.
		The present value of the annuity A(0) is the sum of the present value of each payment where V is the same payment each period and EMBED Equation.3 is the annuity factor in the table.
		If F is the principal (face value or par value) of the bond and if C is the coupon payment (=cF where c is the coupon rate) and if r is the interest rate, then a bond can be priced (PB) as EMBED Equation.3 .

	TheStreet.com: What's a Stable Value Fund?
		According to the Stable Value Investment Association, two-thirds of 401(k) plans offer a stable value fund as an option, and about 25% of the approximately $1 trillion in 401(k) plans is in stable value.
		You also are correct that a stable value fund is an income investment that typically returns 1% to 1.5% more than a money-market fund, but like a money-market fund, it preserves your principal.
		Basically, the industry claims that by investing in a mix of stocks and stable value instead of stocks and bonds, investors have been able to achieve the same rate of return with less risk, or to achieve a higher rate of return with the same amount of risk.

		Present value is the value in today's dollars assigned to an amount of money in the future, based on some estimate rate-of-return over the long-term.
		Another way to read this is that you must invest the present value today at the rate-of-return to have some future sum in some years from now (but this only considers the raw dollars, not the purchasing power).
		The present value of 10,000 assuming an 8% annually compounded rate-of-return is 6,580.
