Power functions – relationships of the form = – appear as straight lines in a log–log graph, with the exponent corresponding to the slope, and the coefficient corresponding to the intercept. Thus these graphs are very useful for recognizing these relationships and estimating parameters. Any base can be used for the logarithm, though most ...
There is a close relationship between graphs and matrices and between digraphs and matrices. [9] "The algebraic theory of matrices can be brought to bear on graph theory to obtain results elegantly", and conversely, graph-theoretic approaches based upon flow graphs are used for the solution of linear algebraic equations. [10]
In linear algebra, a linear relation, or simply relation, between elements of a vector space or a module is a linear equation that has these elements as a solution.. More precisely, if , …, are elements of a (left) module M over a ring R (the case of a vector space over a field is a special case), a relation between , …, is a sequence (, …,) of elements of R such that
One solution is to construct a weighted line graph, that is, a line graph with weighted edges. There are several natural ways to do this. [ 39 ] For instance if edges d and e in the graph G are incident at a vertex v with degree k , then in the line graph L ( G ) the edge connecting the two vertices d and e can be given weight 1/( k − 1) .
Matrices can be used to compactly write and work with multiple linear equations, that is, systems of linear equations. For example, if A is an m × n matrix, x designates a column vector (that is, n ×1 -matrix) of n variables x 1 , x 2 , ..., x n , and b is an m ×1 -column vector, then the matrix equation
In linear regression, the relationships are modeled using linear predictor functions whose unknown model parameters are estimated from the data. Most commonly, the conditional mean of the response given the values of the explanatory variables (or predictors) is assumed to be an affine function of those values; less commonly, the conditional ...
Linear programming (LP), also called linear optimization, is a method to achieve the best outcome (such as maximum profit or lowest cost) in a mathematical model whose requirements and objective are represented by linear relationships. Linear programming is a special case of mathematical programming (also known as mathematical optimization).
A nomogram (from Greek νόμος (nomos) 'law' and γράμμα 'that which is drawn'), also called a nomograph, alignment chart, or abac, is a graphical calculating device, a two-dimensional diagram designed to allow the approximate graphical computation of a mathematical function.
