In dictionaries:
order parameter
Measure quantifying system's degree of organization.
parameter estimation
Parameter space
The parameter space is the space of all possible parameter values that define a particular mathematical model.
lattice parameter
Synonym of lattice constant (“a constant which describes the geometry of a unit cell in a crystal lattice”).
formal parameter
(programming) An abstract representation, typically including a name and a type, of a parameter expected to be passed to a method or function.
Impact parameter
Distance from center to trajectory.
population parameter
Characteristic value of entire population.
Scale parameter
In probability theory and statistics, a scale parameter is a special kind of numerical parameter of a parametric family of probability distributions.
Free parameter
A free parameter is a variable in a mathematical model which cannot be predicted precisely or constrained by the model and must be estimated experimentally or theoretically.
coriolis parameter
Location parameter
In statistics, a location parameter of a probability distribution is a scalar- or vector-valued parameter , which determines the "location" or shift of the distribution.
