  2. Maximum a posteriori estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_a_posteriori...

    The MAP can be used to obtain a point estimate of an unobserved quantity on the basis of empirical data. It is closely related to the method of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation, but employs an augmented optimization objective which incorporates a prior density over the quantity one wants to estimate.

  3. Scale (map) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(map)

    The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. This simple concept is complicated by the curvature of the Earth's surface, which forces scale to vary across a map. Because of this variation, the concept of scale becomes meaningful in two distinct ways.

  4. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    Graphical scale bar in combination with a scale expressed as a ratio and a conversion help. The scale ratio of a model represents the proportional ratio of a linear dimension of the model to the same feature of the original. Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building ...

  5. Multidimensional scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multidimensional_scaling

    Mapping the results and defining the dimensions – The statistical program (or a related module) will map the results. The map will plot each product (usually in two-dimensional space). The proximity of products to each other indicate either how similar they are or how preferred they are, depending on which approach was used.

  6. Kernel principal component analysis - Wikipedia

    It seems all that's left is to calculate and normalize the , which can be done by solving the eigenvector equation N λ a = K a {\displaystyle N\lambda \mathbf {a} =K\mathbf {a} } where N {\displaystyle N} is the number of data points in the set, and λ {\displaystyle \lambda } and a {\displaystyle \mathbf {a} } are the eigenvalues and ...

  7. Map series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_series

    In most European countries, the largest scale topographic map series is a 1:25.000 scale series. Notable exceptions are Austria (1:50,000) and Finland (1:20,000). Many non-European states limit the largest scale of their map series, usually to 1:50,000 scale, frequently due to the large size of the country covered (and hence for financial reasons).

  8. Location–scale family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location–scale_family

    The following shows how to implement a location–scale family in a statistical package or programming environment where only functions for the "standard" version of a distribution are available. It is designed for R but should generalize to any language and library.

  9. Scale analysis (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Scale analysis rules as follows: Rule1-First step in scale analysis is to define the domain of extent in which we apply scale analysis. Any scale analysis of a flow region that is not uniquely defined is not valid. Rule2-One equation constitutes an equivalence between the scales of two dominant terms appearing in the equation. For example,
