Parameter
111Statistical parameter — A statistical parameter is a parameter that indexes a family of probability distributions. It can be regarded as a numerical characteristic of a population or a model.[1] Among parameterized families of distributions are the normal distributions …
112Procedural parameter — In computing, a procedural parameter is a parameter of a procedure that is itself a procedure.This concept is an extremely powerful and versatile programming tool, because it allows programmers to modify certain steps of a library procedure in… …
113Concentration parameter — In probability theory and statistics, a concentration parameter is a special kind of numerical parameter of a parametric family of probability distributions. Concentration parameters occur in conjunction with distributions whose domain is a… …
114Stone's theorem on one-parameter unitary groups — In mathematics, Stone s theorem on one parameter unitary groups is a basic theorem of functional analysis which establishes a one to one correspondence between self adjoint operators on a Hilbert space H and one parameter families of unitary… …
115Complex beam parameter — In optics, the complex beam parameter is a complex number that specifies the properties of a Gaussian beam at a particular point z along the axis of the beam. It is usually denoted by q. It can be calculated from the beam s vacuum wavelength λ0,… …
116Tisserand's parameter — In Celestial Mechanics, Tisserand’s parameter (or Tisserand s invariant) is a combination of orbital elements used in a restricted three body problem.DefinitionFor a small body with semimajor axis a,!, eccentricity e,!, and inclination i,!,… …
117Deceleration parameter — Physical cosmology Universe · Big Bang …
118BIOS parameter block — (BPB) is a description of the physical medium (hard disk or floppy) that might be stored in a partition s Volume Boot Record. Filesystems with a BIOS parameter block include FAT16, FAT32, HPFS, and NTFS. ECMA 107 or ISO/IEC 9293 (which describes… …
119Hildebrand solubility parameter — The Hildebrand solubility parameter (δ) provides a numerical estimate of the degree of interaction between materials, and can be a good indication of solubility, particularly for non polar materials such as many polymers. Materials with similar… …
120Location parameter — In statistics, a location family is a class of probability distributions parametrized by a scalar or vector valued parameter μ , which determines the location or shift of the distribution. Formally, this means that the probability density… …
