parameter part
1Parameter — Pa*ram e*ter, n. [Pref. para + meter: cf. F. param[ e]tre.] 1. A constant number which is part of a theory, function, or calculation, whose value is not determined by the form of the theory or equation itself, and may in some cases be arbitrary… …
2Parameter (computer science) — In computer programming, a parameter is a variable which takes on the meaning of a corresponding argument passed in a call to a subroutine. In the most common case, call by value, a parameter acts within the subroutine as a local (isolated) copy… …
3Parameter — For other uses, see Parameter (disambiguation). Parameter from Ancient Greek παρά also “para” meaning “beside, subsidiary” and μέτρον also “metron” meaning “measure”, can be interpreted in mathematics, logic, linguistics, environmental science[1] …
4Parameter — A representation that characterizes a part of a model ( e.g. a growth rate), the value of which is determined outside of the model. See: exogenous variable. The New York Times Financial Glossary * * * parameter pa‧ram‧e‧ter [pəˈræmtə ǁ ər] noun… …
5Coupling parameter — The coupling parameter of the resonator, specifies the part of the energy of the laser field, which is output at each round trip. The coupling parameter should not be confused with the round trip loss, which refers to the part of the energy of… …
6Procedural parameter — In computing, a procedural parameter is a parameter of a procedure that is itself a procedure.This concept is an extremely powerful and versatile programming tool, because it allows programmers to modify certain steps of a library procedure in… …
7Hildebrand solubility parameter — The Hildebrand solubility parameter (δ) provides a numerical estimate of the degree of interaction between materials, and can be a good indication of solubility, particularly for non polar materials such as many polymers. Materials with similar… …
8Flack parameter — In X ray crystallography, the Flack parameter is a factor used to estimate the absolute configuration of a structural model determined by single crystal structure analysis.In this approach, one determines the absolute structure of a… …
9Beam parameter product — In laser science, the beam parameter product (BPP) is the product of a laser beam s divergence angle (half angle) and the radius of the beam at its narrowest point (the beam waist).cite web|url=http://www.rp photonics.com/beam parameter… …
10Distributed parameter system — A distributed parameter system (as opposed to a lumped parameter system) is a system whose state space is infinite dimensional. Such systems are therefore also known as infinite dimensional systems. Typical examples are systems described by… …
