  2. Dilution of precision (navigation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_of_precision...

    Due to the relative geometry of any given satellite to a receiver, the precision in the pseudorange of the satellite translates to a corresponding component in each of the four dimensions of position measured by the receiver (i.e., , , , and ). The precision of multiple satellites in view of a receiver combine according to the relative position ...

  3. Variance reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance_reduction

    The variance of randomly generated points within a unit square can be reduced through a stratification process. In mathematics, more specifically in the theory of Monte Carlo methods, variance reduction is a procedure used to increase the precision of the estimates obtained for a given simulation or computational effort.

  4. Error analysis for the Global Positioning System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_analysis_for_the...

    Correcting these errors is a significant challenge to improving GPS position accuracy. These effects are smallest when the satellite is directly overhead and become greater for satellites nearer the horizon since the path through the atmosphere is longer (see airmass). Once the receiver's approximate location is known, a mathematical model can ...

  5. Principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_analysis

    Principal component analysis (PCA) is a linear dimensionality reduction technique with applications in exploratory data analysis, visualization and data preprocessing.. The data is linearly transformed onto a new coordinate system such that the directions (principal components) capturing the largest variation in the data can be easily identified.

  6. Intercept method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercept_method

    In astronomical navigation, the intercept method, also known as Marcq St. Hilaire method, is a method of calculating an observer's position on Earth (geopositioning).It was originally called the azimuth intercept method because the process involves drawing a line which intercepts the azimuth line.

  7. Precision engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_engineering

    Precision engineering is a subdiscipline of electrical engineering, software engineering, electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, and optical engineering concerned with designing machines, fixtures, and other structures that have exceptionally low tolerances, are repeatable, and are stable over time.

  8. Computational electromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_electromagnetics

    Computational electromagnetics (CEM), computational electrodynamics or electromagnetic modeling is the process of modeling the interaction of electromagnetic fields with physical objects and the environment using computers.

  9. Nonlinear dimensionality reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear_dimensionality...

    Nonlinear dimensionality reduction, also known as manifold learning, is any of various related techniques that aim to project high-dimensional data, potentially existing across non-linear manifolds which cannot be adequately captured by linear decomposition methods, onto lower-dimensional latent manifolds, with the goal of either visualizing ...
