  2. Simpson's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson's_rule

    Composite Simpson's 3/8 rule is even less accurate. Integration by Simpson's 1/3 rule can be represented as a weighted average with 2/3 of the value coming from integration by the trapezoidal rule with step h and 1/3 of the value coming from integration by the rectangle rule with step 2h. The accuracy is governed by the second (2h step) term

  3. Explicit and implicit methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explicit_and_implicit_methods

    Consider a grid = for 0 ≤ k ≤ n, that is, the time step is = /, and denote = for each . Discretize this equation using the simplest explicit and implicit methods, which are the forward Euler and backward Euler methods (see numerical ordinary differential equations ) and compare the obtained schemes.

  4. Split-step method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-step_method

    Second, it is necessary to Fourier transform back and forth because the linear step is made in the frequency domain while the nonlinear step is made in the time domain. An example of usage of this method is in the field of light pulse propagation in optical fibers, where the interaction of linear and nonlinear mechanisms makes it difficult to ...

  5. Structural equation modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_equation_modeling

    [20] [7] [17] [30] Texts and programs "simplifying" model specification via diagrams or by using equations permitting user-selected variable names, re-convert the user's model into some standard matrix-algebra form in the background. The "simplifications" are achieved by implicitly introducing default program "assumptions" about model features ...

  6. Stepwise regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepwise_regression

    The main approaches for stepwise regression are: Forward selection, which involves starting with no variables in the model, testing the addition of each variable using a chosen model fit criterion, adding the variable (if any) whose inclusion gives the most statistically significant improvement of the fit, and repeating this process until none improves the model to a statistically significant ...

  7. Lorenz system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system

    The equations relate the properties of a two-dimensional fluid layer uniformly warmed from below and cooled from above. In particular, the equations describe the rate of change of three quantities with respect to time: x is proportional to the rate of convection, y to the horizontal temperature variation, and z to the vertical temperature ...

  8. Smoothstep - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothstep

    Smoothstep is a family of sigmoid-like interpolation and clamping functions commonly used in computer graphics, [1] [2] video game engines, [3] and machine learning. [ 4 ] The function depends on three parameters, the input x , the "left edge" and the "right edge", with the left edge being assumed smaller than the right edge.

  9. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    In the first step above, the element equations are simple equations that locally approximate the original complex equations to be studied, where the original equations are often partial differential equations (PDEs). To explain the approximation of this process, FEM is commonly introduced as a special case of the Galerkin method.
