  2. Differential (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, differential refers to several related notions [1] derived from the early days of calculus, put on a rigorous footing, such as infinitesimal differences and the derivatives of functions. [2] The term is used in various branches of mathematics such as calculus, differential geometry, algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.

  3. Differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_equation

    In mathematics, a differential equation is an equation that relates one or more unknown functions and their derivatives. [1] In applications, the functions generally represent physical quantities, the derivatives represent their rates of change, and the differential equation defines a relationship between the two.

  4. Differential item functioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_item_functioning

    Differential item functioning (DIF) is a statistical property of a test item that indicates how likely it is for individuals from distinct groups, possessing similar abilities, to respond differently to the item. It manifests when individuals from different groups, with comparable skill levels, do not have an equal likelihood of answering a ...

  5. Differential rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_rotation

    For observed sunspots, the differential rotation can be calculated as: = ⁡ where is the rotation rate at the equator, and = is the difference in angular velocity between pole and equator, called the strength of the rotational shear.

  6. Differential signalling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_signalling

    The receiving circuit responds to the difference between the two signals, which results in a signal with a magnitude twice as large. The symmetrical signals of differential signalling may be referred to as balanced , but this term is more appropriately applied to balanced circuits and balanced lines which reject common-mode interference when ...

  7. Differentially methylated region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentially_methylated...

    Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are genomic regions with different DNA methylation status across different biological samples and regarded as possible functional regions involved in gene transcriptional regulation. The biological samples can be different cells/tissues within the same individual, the same cell/tissue at different times ...

  8. Differential susceptibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_susceptibility

    Both models suggest that people's development and emotional affect are differentially affected by experiences or qualities of the environment. Where the Diathesis-stress model suggests a group that is sensitive to negative environments only, the differential susceptibility hypothesis suggests a group that is sensitive to both negative and ...

    A formal definition of ε-differential privacy. is a dataset without the privat The 2006 Cynthia Dwork, Frank McSherry, Kobbi Nissim, and Adam D. Smith article [3] introduced the concept of ε-differential privacy, a mathematical definition for the privacy loss associated with any data release drawn from a statistical database. [4]
