Peak (geometry), an (n-3)-dimensional element of a polytope; Peak electricity demand or peak usage; Peak-to-peak, the highest (or sometimes the highest and lowest) points on a varying waveform; Peak (pharmacology), the time at which a drug reaches its maximum plasma concentration; Peak experience, psychological term for a euphoric mental state
In mathematics, the peak algebra is a (non-unital) subalgebra of the group algebra of the symmetric group S n, studied by Nyman (2003).It consists of the elements of the group algebra of the symmetric group whose coefficients are the same for permutations with the same peaks.
The definition of global minimum point also proceeds similarly. If the domain X is a metric space , then f is said to have a local (or relative ) maximum point at the point x ∗ , if there exists some ε > 0 such that f ( x ∗ ) ≥ f ( x ) for all x in X within distance ε of x ∗ .
Depending on authors, the term "maps" or the term "functions" may be reserved for specific kinds of functions or morphisms (e.g., function as an analytic term and map as a general term). mathematics See mathematics. multivalued A "multivalued function” from a set A to a set B is a function from A to the subsets of B.
The peak is "well-sampled", so that less than 10% of the area or volume under the peak (area if a 1D Gaussian, volume if a 2D Gaussian) lies outside the measurement region. The width of the peak is much larger than the distance between sample locations (i.e. the detector pixels must be at least 5 times smaller than the Gaussian FWHM).
In statistics, the mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values. [1] If X is a discrete random variable, the mode is the value x at which the probability mass function takes its maximum value (i.e., x=argmax x i P(X = x i)).
Slope: = = In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes the direction of the line on a plane. [1] Often denoted by the letter m, slope is calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change ("rise over run") between two distinct points on the line, giving the same number for any choice of points.
In statistics, a unimodal probability distribution or unimodal distribution is a probability distribution which has a single peak. The term "mode" in this context refers to any peak of the distribution, not just to the strict definition of mode which is usual in statistics. If there is a single mode, the distribution function is called "unimodal".
