51Bayesian inference — is statistical inference in which evidence or observations are used to update or to newly infer the probability that a hypothesis may be true. The name Bayesian comes from the frequent use of Bayes theorem in the inference process. Bayes theorem… …
52Charge-coupled device — A specially developed CCD used for ultraviolet imaging in a wire bonded package. A charge coupled device (CCD) is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated, for… …

54Big O notation — In mathematics, big O notation is used to describe the limiting behavior of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity, usually in terms of simpler functions. It is a member of a larger family of notations that is… …
55Cardiac output — (Q or or CO ) is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart, in particular by a left or right ventricle in the time interval of one minute. CO may be measured in many ways, for example dm3/min (1 dm3 equals 1000 cm3 or 1 litre). Q is… …
56Sturm-Liouville theory — In mathematics and its applications, a classical Sturm Liouville equation, named after Jacques Charles François Sturm (1803 1855) and Joseph Liouville (1809 1882), is a real second order linear differential equation of the formwhere y is a… …
57Division (digital) — Several algorithms exist to perform division in digital designs. These algorithms fall into two main categories: slow division and fast division. Slow division algorithms produce one digit of the final quotient per iteration. Examples of slow… …
58Projective transformation — A projective transformation is a transformation used in projective geometry: it is the composition of a pair of perspective projections. It describes what happens to the perceived positions of observed objects when the point of view of the… …
59Standard error (statistics) — For a value that is sampled with an unbiased normally distributed error, the above depicts the proportion of samples that would fall between 0, 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations above and below the actual value. The standard error is the standard… …
60Classical Hamiltonian quaternions — For the history of quaternions see:history of quaternions For a more general treatment of quaternions see:quaternions William Rowan Hamilton invented quaternions, a mathematical entity in 1843. This article describes Hamilton s original treatment …
