  2. Successive parabolic interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive_parabolic...

    Successive parabolic interpolation is a technique for finding the extremum (minimum or maximum) of a continuous unimodal function by successively fitting parabolas (polynomials of degree two) to a function of one variable at three unique points or, in general, a function of n variables at 1+n(n+3)/2 points, and at each iteration replacing the "oldest" point with the extremum of the fitted ...

  3. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    The peak is "well-sampled", so that less than 10% of the area or volume under the peak (area if a 1D Gaussian, volume if a 2D Gaussian) lies outside the measurement region. The width of the peak is much larger than the distance between sample locations (i.e. the detector pixels must be at least 5 times smaller than the Gaussian FWHM).

  4. Reed–Muller code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed–Muller_code

    The Reed–Muller code RM(r, m) has message length = = and block length =. One way to define an encoding for this code is based on the evaluation of multilinear polynomials with m variables and total degree at most r.

  6. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_of_uncertainty

    In statistics, propagation of uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function based on them. When the variables are the values of experimental measurements they have uncertainties due to measurement limitations (e.g., instrument ...

  7. Gauss–Newton algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Newton_algorithm

    The assumption m ≥ n in the algorithm statement is necessary, as otherwise the matrix is not invertible and the normal equations cannot be solved (at least uniquely).. The Gauss–Newton algorithm can be derived by linearly approximating the vector of functions r i.

  8. Exponentially modified Gaussian distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentially_modified...

    In probability theory, an exponentially modified Gaussian distribution (EMG, also known as exGaussian distribution) describes the sum of independent normal and exponential random variables. An exGaussian random variable Z may be expressed as Z = X + Y, where X and Y are independent, X is Gaussian with mean μ and variance σ 2, and Y is ...

  9. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.
