111Rock — /rok/, n. a male given name. * * * I In geology, a naturally occurring and coherent aggregate of minerals. The three major classes of rock igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic are based on the processes that formed them. These three classes are… …
112Electronic amplifier — A practical amplifier circuit An electronic amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In… …
113Standard deviation — In probability and statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a collection of values. It can apply to a probability distribution, a random variable, a population or a data set. The standard deviation is usually denoted… …
114Atmospheric pressure — Air pressure redirects here. For the pressure of air in other systems, see pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the Earth s atmosphere. In most… …
115PID controller — A block diagram of a PID controller A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller) is a generic control loop feedback mechanism (controller) widely used in industrial control systems – a PID is the most commonly used feedback… …
116Mean squared error — In statistics, the mean squared error (MSE) of an estimator is one of many ways to quantify the difference between values implied by a kernel density estimator and the true values of the quantity being estimated. MSE is a risk function,… …
117Renormalization group — In theoretical physics, the renormalization group (RG) refers to a mathematical apparatus that allows systematic investigation of the changes of a physical system as viewed at different distance scales. In particle physics, it reflects the… …

119Substitution model — A substitution model describes the process from which a sequence of characters of a fixed size from some alphabet changes into another set of traits. For example, in cladistics, each position in the sequence might correspond to a property of a… …
120Normalization (statistics) — For other uses, see Standard score and Normalizing constant. In one usage in statistics, normalization is the process of isolating statistical error in repeated measured data. A normalization is sometimes based on a property. Quantile… …
