rate of error
1Error threshold (evolution) — The error threshold is a concept in the study of evolutionary biology and population genetics and is concerned with the origins of life, in particular of very early life, before the advent of DNA. The first self replicating molecules were… …
2error — The difference between the expected and the actual. In computing, the way that the operating system reports unexpected, unusual, impossible, or illegal events is by displaying an error number or error message. Errors range from trivial,… …
3Error catastrophe — is a term used to describe the extinction of an organism (often in the context of microorganisms such as viruses) as a result of excessive RNA mutations. The term specifically refers to the predictions of mathematical models similar to that… …
4Rate–distortion theory — is a major branch of information theory which provides the theoretical foundations for lossy data compression; it addresses the problem of determining the minimal amount of entropy (or information) R that should be communicated over a channel, so …
5Error — • Reduplicatively regarded, is in one way or another the product of ignorance. But besides the lack of information which it implies, it adds the positive element of a mental judgment, by which something false is held to be true, or something true …
6Rate–distortion optimization — (also RDO or RD) is a method of improving video quality in video compression. The name refers to the optimization of the amount of distortion (loss of video quality) against the amount of data required to encode the video, the rate . While it is… …
7Error Rate — [engl.], Fehlerrate …
8Error detection and correction — In mathematics, computer science, telecommunication, and information theory, error detection and correction has great practical importance in maintaining data (information) integrity across noisy channels and less than reliable storage… …
9Error exponent — In information theory, the error exponent of a channel code or source code over the block length of the code is the logarithm of the error probability. For example, if the probability of error of a decoder drops as e – n α, where n is the block… …
10error rate — In communications, the ratio between the number of bits received incorrectly and the total number of bits in the transmission, also known as bit error rate (BER). Some methods for determining error rate use larger or logical units, such as… …
