  2. Scientific modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_modelling

    Structure is a fundamental and sometimes intangible notion covering the recognition, observation, nature, and stability of patterns and relationships of entities. From a child's verbal description of a snowflake, to the detailed scientific analysis of the properties of magnetic fields , the concept of structure is an essential foundation of ...

  3. Patterns in nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature

    Composite patterns: aphids and newly born young in arraylike clusters on sycamore leaf, divided into polygons by veins, which are avoided by the young aphids Living things like orchids, hummingbirds, and the peacock's tail have abstract designs with a beauty of form, pattern and colour that artists struggle to match.

  4. Training, validation, and test data sets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training,_validation,_and...

    A training data set is a data set of examples used during the learning process and is used to fit the parameters (e.g., weights) of, for example, a classifier. [9] [10]For classification tasks, a supervised learning algorithm looks at the training data set to determine, or learn, the optimal combinations of variables that will generate a good predictive model. [11]

  5. Pattern recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_recognition

    Pattern recognition is the task of assigning a class to an observation based on patterns extracted from data. While similar, pattern recognition (PR) is not to be confused with pattern machines (PM) which may possess (PR) capabilities but their primary function is to distinguish and create emergent patterns.

  6. Double-slit experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment

    The top portion of the image shows the central portion of the pattern formed when a red laser illuminates a slit and, if one looks carefully, two faint side bands. More bands can be seen with a more highly refined apparatus. Diffraction explains the pattern as being the result of the interference of light waves from the slit.

  7. Observations and Measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observations_and_Measurements

    Observations and Measurements (O&M) is an international standard [1] which defines a conceptual schema encoding for observations, and for features involved in sampling when making observations. While the O&M standard was developed in the context of geographic information systems , the model is derived from generic patterns proposed by Fowler ...

  8. Summary statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summary_statistics

    Box plot of the Michelson–Morley experiment, showing several summary statistics.. In descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible.

  9. Time series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_series

    Panel data is the general class, a multidimensional data set, whereas a time series data set is a one-dimensional panel (as is a cross-sectional dataset). A data set may exhibit characteristics of both panel data and time series data. One way to tell is to ask what makes one data record unique from the other records.
