123Non-linear least squares — is the form of least squares analysis which is used to fit a set of m observations with a model that is non linear in n unknown parameters (m > n). It is used in some forms of non linear regression. The basis of the method is to… …
124Mathematical logic — (also known as symbolic logic) is a subfield of mathematics with close connections to foundations of mathematics, theoretical computer science and philosophical logic.[1] The field includes both the mathematical study of logic and the… …
125Büchi automaton — A Büchi automaton is the extension of a finite state automaton to infinite inputs. It accepts an infinite input sequence iff there exists a run of the automaton (in case of a deterministic automaton, there is exactly one possible run) which… …
126Multivariate adaptive regression splines — (MARS) is a form of regression analysis introduced by Jerome Friedman in 1991.[1] It is a non parametric regression technique and can be seen as an extension of linear models that automatically models non linearities and interactions. The term… …
