  2. Machine epsilon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_epsilon

    This alternative definition is significantly more widespread: machine epsilon is the difference between 1 and the next larger floating point number.This definition is used in language constants in Ada, C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Mathematica, Octave, Pascal, Python and Rust etc., and defined in textbooks like «Numerical Recipes» by Press et al.

  3. Regularized least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularized_least_squares

    For regularized least squares the square loss function is introduced: = = (, ()) = = (()) However, if the functions are from a relatively unconstrained space, such as the set of square-integrable functions on X {\displaystyle X} , this approach may overfit the training data, and lead to poor generalization.

  4. MATLAB - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATLAB

    MATLAB (an abbreviation of "MATrix LABoratory" [22]) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks.MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

  5. Linear least squares - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_least_squares

    Linear least squares (LLS) is the least squares approximation of linear functions to data. It is a set of formulations for solving statistical problems involved in linear regression, including variants for ordinary (unweighted), weighted, and generalized (correlated) residuals.

  6. Function approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_approximation

    Several progressively more accurate approximations of the step function. An asymmetrical Gaussian function fit to a noisy curve using regression.. In general, a function approximation problem asks us to select a function among a well-defined class [citation needed] [clarification needed] that closely matches ("approximates") a target function [citation needed] in a task-specific way.

  7. Levi-Civita symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_symbol

    As it does not change at all, the Levi-Civita symbol is, by definition, a pseudotensor. As the Levi-Civita symbol is a pseudotensor, the result of taking a cross product is a pseudovector, not a vector. [5] Under a general coordinate change, the components of the permutation tensor are multiplied by the Jacobian of the transformation matrix ...

  8. Analytic function of a matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_function_of_a_matrix

    In mathematics, every analytic function can be used for defining a matrix function that maps square matrices with complex entries to square matrices of the same size. This is used for defining the exponential of a matrix , which is involved in the closed-form solution of systems of linear differential equations .

  9. Numerical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_stability

    The above definitions are particularly relevant in situations where truncation errors are not important. In other contexts, for instance when solving differential equations, a different definition of numerical stability is used. In numerical ordinary differential equations, various concepts of numerical stability exist, for instance A-stability.
