1Linear programming — (LP, or linear optimization) is a mathematical method for determining a way to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a given mathematical model for some list of requirements represented as linear relationships.… …
2Linear partial information — (LPI) is a method of making decisions based on insufficient or fuzzy information. LPI was introduced in 1970 by Polish Swiss mathematician Edward Kofler (1911 2007) to simplify decision processes. Comparing to other methods the LPI fuzziness is… …
3Linear prediction — is a mathematical operation where future values of a discrete time signal are estimated as a linear function of previous samples.In digital signal processing, linear prediction is often called linear predictive coding (LPC) and can thus be viewed …
4Linear-on-the-fly testing — Linear on the fly testing, often referred to as LOFT, is a method of delivering educational or professional examinations. Competing methods include traditional linear fixed form delivery and computerized adaptive testing. LOFT is a compromise… …
5Linear algebra — R3 is a vector (linear) space, and lines and planes passing through the origin are vector subspaces in R3. Subspaces are a common object of study in linear algebra. Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that studies vector spaces, also called …
6Linear regression — Example of simple linear regression, which has one independent variable In statistics, linear regression is an approach to modeling the relationship between a scalar variable y and one or more explanatory variables denoted X. The case of one… …
7Linear extension — In order theory, a branch of mathematics, a linear extension of a partial order is a linear order (or total order) that is compatible with the partial order. Contents 1 Definitions 2 Order extension principle 3 Related results …
8Linear algebraic group — In mathematics, a linear algebraic group is a subgroup of the group of invertible n times; n matrices (under matrix multiplication) that is defined by polynomial equations. An example is the orthogonal group, defined by the relation MTM = I where …
