31Generalised logistic function — The generalized logistic curve or function, also known as Richards curve is a widely used and flexible sigmoid function for growth modelling, extending the well known logistic curve.:Y = A + { K over (1 + Q e^{ B (t M)}) ^ {1 / u} }where Y =… …
32Associated Legendre function — Note: This article describes a very general class of functions. An important subclass of these functions mdash;those with integer ell and m mdash;are commonly called associated Legendre polynomials , even though they are not polynomials when m is …
33Form, fit and function — The term Form, fit and function , sometimes called F3, in the manufacturing and technology industries is a description of an item s identifying characteristics. If the specifications, or criteria, for form, fit and function of a particular item… …
34Motivic L-function — In mathematics, motivic L functions are a generalization of Hasse–Weil L functions to general motives over global fields. The local L factor at a finite place v is similarly given by the characteristic polynomial of a Frobenius element at v… …
35thermodynamic function — Heat Heat (h[=e]t), n. [OE. hete, h[ae]te, AS. h[=ae]tu, h[=ae]to, fr. h[=a]t hot; akin to OHG. heizi heat, Dan. hede, Sw. hetta. See {Hot}.] 1. A force in nature which is recognized in various effects, but especially in the phenomena of fusion… …
36Heat weight — Heat Heat (h[=e]t), n. [OE. hete, h[ae]te, AS. h[=ae]tu, h[=ae]to, fr. h[=a]t hot; akin to OHG. heizi heat, Dan. hede, Sw. hetta. See {Hot}.] 1. A force in nature which is recognized in various effects, but especially in the phenomena of fusion… …
37Wave function renormalization — In quantum field theory, wave function renormalization is a rescaling, or renormalization, of quantum fields to take into account the effects of interactions. For a noninteracting or free field, the field operator creates or annihilates a single… …
38Thermodynamic function — Thermodynamic Ther mo*dy*nam ic, a. [Thermo + dynamic.] (Physics) Relating to thermodynamics; caused or operated by force due to the application of heat. [1913 Webster] {Thermodynamic function}. See {Heat weight}, under {Heat}. [1913 Webster] …
39asymptotic weight — a parameter of the von Bertalanffy Growth Function, q.v., expressing the mean weight the fish in a stock would attain if they were to grow for an infinitely long period …
40Local regression — LOESS, or locally weighted scatterplot smoothing, is one of many modern modeling methods that build on classical methods, such as linear and nonlinear least squares regression. Modern regression methods are designed to address situations in which …
