  2. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    For example, given a = f(x) = a 0 x 0 + a 1 x 1 + ··· and b = g(x) = b 0 x 0 + b 1 x 1 + ···, the product ab is a specific value of W(x) = f(x)g(x). One may easily find points along W(x) at small values of x, and interpolation based on those points will yield the terms of W(x) and the specific product ab. As fomulated in Karatsuba ...

  3. Orthogonality principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality_principle

    The orthogonality principle is most commonly used in the setting of linear estimation. [1] In this context, let x be an unknown random vector which is to be estimated based on the observation vector y. One wishes to construct a linear estimator ^ = + for some matrix H and vector c.

  4. Orthogonal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_coordinates

    A conformal map acting on a rectangular grid. Note that the orthogonality of the curved grid is retained. While vector operations and physical laws are normally easiest to derive in Cartesian coordinates, non-Cartesian orthogonal coordinates are often used instead for the solution of various problems, especially boundary value problems, such as those arising in field theories of quantum ...

  5. Deming regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deming_regression

    The case shown, with deviations measured perpendicularly, arises when errors in x and y have equal variances. In statistics, Deming regression, named after W. Edwards Deming, is an errors-in-variables model that tries to find the line of best fit for a two-dimensional data set.

    The normal equations can be derived directly from a matrix representation of the problem as follows. The objective is to minimize = ‖ ‖ = () = +.Here () = has the dimension 1x1 (the number of columns of ), so it is a scalar and equal to its own transpose, hence = and the quantity to minimize becomes

  7. Polynomial regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_regression

    A drawback of polynomial bases is that the basis functions are "non-local", meaning that the fitted value of y at a given value x = x 0 depends strongly on data values with x far from x 0. [9] In modern statistics, polynomial basis-functions are used along with new basis functions, such as splines, radial basis functions, and wavelets. These ...

  8. Lagrange polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_polynomial

    To find () at a point , define a new function () = ~ = () ~ and choose ~ = = where is the constant we are required to determine for a given . We choose C {\displaystyle C} so that F ( x ) {\displaystyle F(x)} has k + 2 {\displaystyle k+2} zeroes (at all nodes and x p {\displaystyle x_{p}} ) between x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} and x k ...

  9. Orthogonality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonality

    The line segments AB and CD are orthogonal to each other. In mathematics, orthogonality is the generalization of the geometric notion of perpendicularity.Whereas perpendicular is typically followed by to when relating two lines to one another (e.g., "line A is perpendicular to line B"), [1] orthogonal is commonly used without to (e.g., "orthogonal lines A and B").
