22Linear model — In statistics the linear model is given by:Y = X eta + varepsilonwhere Y is an n times;1 column vector of random variables, X is an n times; p matrix of known (i.e. observable and non random) quantities, whose rows correspond to statistical… …
23Linear amplifier — A linear amplifier is an electronic circuit whose output is proportional to its input, but capable of delivering more power into a load. The term usually refers to a type of radio frequency (RF) power amplifier, some of which have output power… …
24Linear particle accelerator — A linear particle accelerator (also called a linac) is an electrical device for the acceleration of subatomic particles. This sort of particle accelerator has many applications, from the generation of X rays in a hospital environment, to an… …
25linear accelerator — Physics. an accelerator in which particles are propelled in straight paths by the use of alternating electric voltages that are timed in such a way that the particles receive increasing increments of energy. Also called linac. [1930 35] * * * or… …
