  2. Time-scale calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-scale_calculus

    A time scale (or measure chain) is a closed subset of the real line. The common notation for a general time scale is T {\displaystyle \mathbb {T} } . The two most commonly encountered examples of time scales are the real numbers R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} } and the discrete time scale h Z {\displaystyle h\mathbb {Z} } .

  3. Discrete time and continuous time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_time_and...

    A variable measured in discrete time can be plotted as a step function, in which each time period is given a region on the horizontal axis of the same length as every other time period, and the measured variable is plotted as a height that stays constant throughout the region of the time period. In this graphical technique, the graph appears as ...

  4. Time scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_scale

    Time scale may refer to: Time standard, a specification of either the rate at which time passes, points in time, or both; A duration or quantity of time: Orders of magnitude (time) as a power of 10 in seconds; A specific unit of time; Geological time scale, a scale that divides up the history of Earth into scientifically meaningful periods

  5. Ephemeris time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeris_time

    Ephemeris time (ET), adopted as standard in 1952, was originally designed as an approach to a uniform time scale, to be freed from the effects of irregularity in the rotation of the Earth, "for the convenience of astronomers and other scientists", for example for use in ephemerides of the Sun (as observed from the Earth), the Moon, and the planets.

  6. Dynamical time scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_time_scale

    In time standards, dynamical time is the independent variable of the equations of celestial mechanics. This is in contrast to time scales such as mean solar time which are based on how far the earth has turned. Since Earth's rotation is not constant, using a time scale based on it for calculating the positions of heavenly objects gives errors ...

  7. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    For data requests that fall between the table's samples, an interpolation algorithm can generate reasonable approximations by averaging nearby samples." [8] In data analysis applications, such as image processing, a lookup table (LUT) can be used to transform the input data into a more desirable output format. For example, a grayscale picture ...

  8. First-hitting-time model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-hitting-time_model

    In many real world applications, a first-hitting-time (FHT) model has three underlying components: (1) a parent stochastic process {()}, which might be latent, (2) a threshold (or the barrier) and (3) a time scale. The first hitting time is defined as the time when the stochastic process first reaches the threshold.

  9. Decision table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_table

    Decision tables are a concise visual representation for specifying which actions to perform depending on given conditions. Decision table is the term used for a Control table or State-transition table in the field of Business process modeling; they are usually formatted as the transpose of the way they are formatted in Software engineering.
