  2. Adaptation model of nursing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_model_of_nursing

    The degree of change as evidenced by change in behaviour, is determined. Ineffective behaviours would be reassessed, and the interventions would be revised. [1] The model had its inception in 1964 when Roy was a graduate student. She was challenged by nursing faculty member Dorothy E. Johnson to develop

  3. Equifinality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equifinality

    Equifinality is the principle that in open systems a given end state can be reached by many potential means. The term and concept is due to the German Hans Driesch, the developmental biologist, later applied by the Austrian Ludwig von Bertalanffy, the founder of general systems theory, and by William T. Powers, the founder of perceptual control theory.

  4. P versus NP problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem

    In other words, any problem in EXPTIME is solvable by a deterministic Turing machine in O(2 p(n)) time, where p(n) is a polynomial function of n. A decision problem is EXPTIME-complete if it is in EXPTIME, and every problem in EXPTIME has a polynomial-time many-one reduction to it. A number of problems are known to be EXPTIME-complete.

  5. Deterministic algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_algorithm

    Deterministic algorithms are by far the most studied and familiar kind of algorithm, as well as one of the most practical, since they can be run on real machines efficiently. Formally, a deterministic algorithm computes a mathematical function ; a function has a unique value for any input in its domain , and the algorithm is a process that ...

  6. Deterministic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deterministic_system

    The systems studied in chaos theory are deterministic. If the initial state were known exactly, then the future state of such a system could theoretically be predicted. However, in practice, knowledge about the future state is limited by the precision with which the initial state can be measured, and chaotic systems are characterized by a strong dependence on the initial condit

  7. Decision rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_rule

    In decision theory, a decision rule is a function which maps an observation to an appropriate action. Decision rules play an important role in the theory of statistics and economics, and are closely related to the concept of a strategy in game theory.

  8. Risk factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_factor

    As an example from clinical practice, low ingestion of dietary sources of vitamin C is a known risk factor for developing scurvy. Specific to public health policy , a determinant is a health risk that is general, abstract, related to inequalities, and difficult for an individual to control.

  9. Diffusion model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_model

    If we generate the Markovian chain case in DDPM to non-Markovian case, DDIM corresponds to the case that the reverse process has variance equals to 0. In other words, the reverse process (and also the forward process) is deterministic. When using fewer sampling steps, DDIM outperforms DDPM. In detail, the DDIM sampling method is as follows.
