  2. Reverse correlation technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_correlation_technique

    The reverse correlation technique is a data driven study method used primarily in psychological and neurophysiological research. [1] This method earned its name from its origins in neurophysiology, where cross-correlations between white noise stimuli and sparsely occurring neuronal spikes could be computed quicker when only computing it for segments preceding the spikes.

  3. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    P ' is the inverse of P with respect to the circle. To invert a number in arithmetic usually means to take its reciprocal. A closely related idea in geometry is that of "inverting" a point. In the plane, the inverse of a point P with respect to a reference circle (Ø) with center O and radius r is a point P ', lying on the ray from O through P ...

  4. Inverse mapping theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_mapping_theorem

    In mathematics, inverse mapping theorem may refer to: the inverse function theorem on the existence of local inverses for functions with non-singular derivatives the bounded inverse theorem on the boundedness of the inverse for invertible bounded linear operators on Banach spaces

  5. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    For example, the inverse of a cubic function with a local maximum and a local minimum has three branches (see the adjacent picture). The arcsine is a partial inverse of the sine function. These considerations are particularly important for defining the inverses of trigonometric functions. For example, the sine function is not one-to-one, since

  6. Inferential confusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferential_confusion

    Inverse inference, the inverse of normal inference, is a critical concept of inferential confusion.A person starts out believing in the truthfulness of a theory even though evidence suggests otherwise creating uncertainty about an actual state causing distress.

  7. Biholomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biholomorphism

    According to this weaker definition, a conformal map need not be biholomorphic, even though it is locally biholomorphic, for example, by the inverse function theorem. For example, if f: U → U is defined by f(z) = z 2 with U = C–{0}, then f is conformal on U, since its derivative f’(z) = 2z ≠ 0, but it is not biholomorphic, since it is 2-1.

  8. Inverse problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_problem

    An inverse problem in science is the process of calculating from a set of observations the causal factors that produced them: for example, calculating an image in X-ray computed tomography, source reconstruction in acoustics, or calculating the density of the Earth from measurements of its gravity field. It is called an inverse problem because ...

  9. Homothety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homothety

    The composition of two homotheties with centers S 1, S 2 and ratios k 1, k 2 = 0.3 mapping P i &rarrow; Q i &rarrow; R i is a homothety again with its center S 3 on line S 1 S 2 with ratio k ⋅ l = 0.6.
