  2. Earth-centered inertial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered_inertial

    Earth-centered inertial (ECI) coordinate frames have their origins at the center of mass of Earth and are fixed with respect to the stars. [1] " I" in "ECI" stands for inertial (i.e. "not accelerating "), in contrast to the "Earth-centered – Earth-fixed" ( ECEF ) frames, which remains fixed with respect to Earth's surface in its rotation ...

  3. Observer effect (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)

    In physics, the observer effect is the disturbance of an observed system by the act of observation. [1] [2] This is often the result of utilising instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. A common example is checking the pressure in an automobile tire, which causes some of the air to escape, thereby ...

  4. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    An observer O, situated at the origin of a local set of coordinates – a frame of reference F. The observer in this frame uses the coordinates ( x, y, z, t ) to describe a spacetime event, shown as a star.

  5. State observer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_observer

    In control theory, a state observer, state estimator, or Luenberger observer is a system that provides an estimate of the internal state of a given real system, from measurements of the input and output of the real system. It is typically computer-implemented, and provides the basis of many practical applications.

  7. Fieldnotes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fieldnotes

    This is also a good time to add the day's notes to one's total collection in an organized manner. Verify notes during collection: Converting fieldnotes as described above will likely lead the researcher to discover key points and themes that can then be checked while still present in the field. If conflicting themes are emerging, further data ...

  8. Observer-expectancy effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer-expectancy_effect

    The observer-expectancy effect [a] is a form of reactivity in which a researcher's cognitive bias causes them to subconsciously influence the participants of an experiment. Confirmation bias can lead to the experimenter interpreting results incorrectly because of the tendency to look for information that conforms to their hypothesis, and ...
