82Evidence-Based Nursing — or EBN is a method of identifying solid research findings and implementing them in nursing practices to further increase the quality of patient care. Overview Evidenced based nursing/evidence based practice (EBN/EBP) is a nursing process that… …
83analysis — /euh nal euh sis/, n., pl. analyses / seez /. 1. the separating of any material or abstract entity into its constituent elements (opposed to synthesis). 2. this process as a method of studying the nature of something or of determining its… …
84Digital signal processing — (DSP) is concerned with the representation of discrete time signals by a sequence of numbers or symbols and the processing of these signals. Digital signal processing and analog signal processing are subfields of signal processing. DSP includes… …
85operations research — the analysis, usually involving mathematical treatment, of a process, problem, or operation to determine its purpose and effectiveness and to gain maximum efficiency. [1940 45, Amer.] * * * Application of scientific methods to management and… …
86Nyquist rate — Not to be confused with Nyquist frequency. Spectrum of a bandlimited signal as a function of frequency In signal processing, the Nyquist rate, named after Harry Nyquist, is two times the bandwidth of a bandlimited signal or a bandlimited channel …
87Confidence interval — This article is about the confidence interval. For Confidence distribution, see Confidence Distribution. In statistics, a confidence interval (CI) is a particular kind of interval estimate of a population parameter and is used to indicate the… …

89Nyquist frequency — Not to be confused with Nyquist rate. Frequencies above ƒs/2 (the Nyquist frequency) have an alias below ƒs/2, whose value is given by this graph. ƒs/2 is also called folding frequency, because of the symmetry between 0 and ƒs. The Nyquist… …
90Downsampling — In signal processing, downsampling (or subsampling ) is the process of reducing the sampling rate of a signal. This is usually done to reduce the data rate or the size of the data. The downsampling factor (commonly denoted by M) is usually an… …
