  2. Polynomial regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_regression

    [3] [4] In the twentieth century, polynomial regression played an important role in the development of regression analysis, with a greater emphasis on issues of design and inference. [5] More recently, the use of polynomial models has been complemented by other methods, with non-polynomial models having advantages for some classes of problems.

  3. Polynomial and rational function modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_and_rational...

    A polynomial function is one that has the form = + + + + + where n is a non-negative integer that defines the degree of the polynomial. A polynomial with a degree of 0 is simply a constant function; with a degree of 1 is a line; with a degree of 2 is a quadratic; with a degree of 3 is a cubic, and so on.

  4. Buchberger's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchberger's_algorithm

    Repeat steps 2-4 until all possible pairs are considered, including those involving the new polynomials added in step 4. Output G; The polynomial S ij is commonly referred to as the S-polynomial, where S refers to subtraction (Buchberger) or syzygy (others). The pair of polynomials with which it is associated is commonly referred to as critical ...

  5. Curve fitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve_fitting

    Fitting of a noisy curve by an asymmetrical peak model, with an iterative process (Gauss–Newton algorithm with variable damping factor α).Curve fitting [1] [2] is the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, [3] possibly subject to constraints.

  6. Horner's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horner's_method

    In mathematics and computer science, Horner's method (or Horner's scheme) is an algorithm for polynomial evaluation.Although named after William George Horner, this method is much older, as it has been attributed to Joseph-Louis Lagrange by Horner himself, and can be traced back many hundreds of years to Chinese and Persian mathematicians. [1]

  7. Polynomial interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_interpolation

    Polynomial interpolation also forms the basis for algorithms in numerical quadrature (Simpson's rule) and numerical ordinary differential equations (multigrid methods). In computer graphics, polynomials can be used to approximate complicated plane curves given a few specified points, for example the shapes of letters in typography.

  8. Algebraic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_function

    Formally, let p(x, y) be a complex polynomial in the complex variables x and y. Suppose that x 0 ∈ C is such that the polynomial p(x 0, y) of y has n distinct zeros. We shall show that the algebraic function is analytic in a neighborhood of x 0. Choose a system of n non-overlapping discs Δ i containing each of these zeros. Then by the ...

  9. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    In mathematics, a polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of indeterminates (also called variables) and coefficients, that involves only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and exponentiation to nonnegative integer powers, and has a finite number of terms.
