  2. Sinusoidal projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal_projection

    Sinusoidal projection of the world. The sinusoidal projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation Jean Cossin, Carte cosmographique ou Universelle description du monde, Dieppe, 1570. The sinusoidal projection is a pseudocylindrical equal-area map projection, sometimes called the Sanson–Flamsteed or the Mercator equal-area projection.

  3. Sine wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

    Tracing the y component of a circle while going around the circle results in a sine wave (red). Tracing the x component results in a cosine wave (blue). Both waves are sinusoids of the same frequency but different phases. A sine wave, sinusoidal wave, or sinusoid (symbol: ∿) is a periodic wave whose waveform (shape) is the trigonometric sine ...

  4. List of map projections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projections

    Standard world projection for the NGS since 1998. 1904 Van der Grinten: Pseudoconic Compromise Alphons J. van der Grinten: Boundary is a circle. All parallels and meridians are circular arcs. Usually clipped near 80°N/S. Standard world projection of the NGS in 1922–1988. c. 150: Equidistant conic = simple conic: Conic Equidistant

  5. Sinusoidal model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal_model

    This sinusoidal model can be fit using nonlinear least squares; to obtain a good fit, routines may require good starting values for the unknown parameters. Fitting a model with a single sinusoid is a special case of spectral density estimation and least-squares spectral analysis .

  6. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The Cauchy distribution, an example of a distribution which does not have an expected value or a variance. In physics it is usually called a Lorentzian profile , and is associated with many processes, including resonance energy distribution, impact and natural spectral line broadening and quadratic stark line broadening.

  7. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    Right: the same wave after a central section underwent a phase shift, for example, by passing through a glass of different thickness than the other parts. Out of phase AE. A real-world example of a sonic phase difference occurs in the warble of a Native American flute.

  8. Kernel (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(statistics)

    In statistics, especially in Bayesian statistics, the kernel of a probability density function (pdf) or probability mass function (pmf) is the form of the pdf or pmf in which any factors that are not functions of any of the variables in the domain are omitted. [1] Note that such factors may well be functions of the parameters of the

  9. Propagation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_constant

    The propagation constant of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is a measure of the change undergone by the amplitude and phase of the wave as it propagates in a given direction. The quantity being measured can be the voltage , the current in a circuit , or a field vector such as electric field strength or flux density .
