  2. Taylor diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_diagram

    The sample Taylor diagram shown in Figure 1 [16] provides a summary of the relative skill with which several global climate models simulate the spatial pattern of annual mean precipitation. Eight models, each represented by a different letter on the diagram, are compared, and the distance between each model and the point labeled “observed ...

  3. Sample entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_entropy

    Like approximate entropy (ApEn), Sample entropy (SampEn) is a measure of complexity. [1] But it does not include self-similar patterns as ApEn does. For a given embedding dimension, tolerance and number of data points, SampEn is the negative natural logarithm of the probability that if two sets of simultaneous data points of length have distance < then two sets of simultaneous data points of ...

  4. XFOIL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFOIL

    XFOIL is an interactive program for the design and analysis of subsonic isolated airfoils.Given the coordinates specifying the shape of a 2D airfoil, Reynolds and Mach numbers, XFOIL can calculate the pressure distribution on the airfoil and hence lift and drag characteristics.

  5. Calibration curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibration_curve

    A calibration curve plot showing limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), dynamic range, and limit of linearity (LOL).. In analytical chemistry, a calibration curve, also known as a standard curve, is a general method for determining the concentration of a substance in an unknown sample by comparing the unknown to a set of standard samples of known concentration. [1]

  6. CUSUM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUSUM

    As a means of assessing CUSUM's performance, Page defined the average run length (A.R.L.) metric; "the expected number of articles sampled before action is taken." He further wrote: [ 2 ] When the quality of the output is satisfactory the A.R.L. is a measure of the expense incurred by the scheme when it gives false alarms, i.e., Type I errors ...

  7. Van der Pol oscillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Pol_oscillator

    The Van der Pol oscillator was originally proposed by the Dutch electrical engineer and physicist Balthasar van der Pol while he was working at Philips. [2] Van der Pol found stable oscillations, [3] which he subsequently called relaxation-oscillations [4] and are now known as a type of limit cycle, in electrical circuits employing vacuum tubes.

  8. Hypergeometric function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_function

    The monodromy of a hypergeometric equation describes how fundamental solutions change when analytically continued around paths in the z plane that return to the same point. That is, when the path winds around a singularity of 2 F 1 , the value of the solutions at the endpoint will differ from the starting point.

  9. Limit cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_cycle

    Stable limit cycle (shown in bold) and two other trajectories spiraling into it Stable limit cycle (shown in bold) for the Van der Pol oscillator. In mathematics, in the study of dynamical systems with two-dimensional phase space, a limit cycle is a closed trajectory in phase space having the property that at least one other trajectory spirals into it either as time approaches infinity or as ...
