A first experimental test of this proposal has been carried out by Kirk, who used a slightly more complex form of data analysis to find a value 1. 36 for his parameter κ.

All cumulants are equal to the parameter: κ < sub > 1 </ sub > = κ < sub > 2 </ sub > = κ < sub > 3 </ sub > = ...= μ.

* The cumulants of the exponential distribution with parameter λ are κ < sub > n </ sub >

The ratio κ = λ / ξ is known as the Ginzburg – Landau parameter.

These four material parameters are ε, µ, κ and χ or permittivity, permeability, strength of chirality, and the Tellegen parameter respectively.

The focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation The focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation has a nonlinearity parameter κ of the same sign ( mathematics ) as the dispersive term proportional to ∂< sup > 2 </ sup > u /∂ x < sup > 2 </ sup >, and has soliton solutions.

The elasticity is a parameter of fluids which is not subject to simple measurement at present, and it is a parameter which is probably varying in an unknown manner with many commercial materials.

The one- or two-digit number of the index word or electronic switch was used in the operand of a symbolic machine instruction to specify indexing or as a parameter which is always an index word or electronic switch, e.g., 3.

From Fig. 6 the relationship between these parameters can readily be derived and the cutting force is Af where **yl is the shear strength of the coating and is a parameter of the coatings material, W is the width of the removed coating and T is its thickness.

F is a constant and D is a parameter that Richardson found depended on the coastline approximated by L. He gave no theoretical explanation but Mandelbrot identified L with a non-integer form of the Hausdorff dimension, later the fractal dimension.

For example, if function div stands for the division operation x / y, then div with the parameter x fixed at 1 ( i. e., div 1 ) is another function: the same as the function inv that returns the multiplicative inverse of its argument, defined by inv ( y )

where x < sub > 0 </ sub > is the location parameter, specifying the location of the peak of the distribution, and γ is the scale parameter which specifies the half-width at half-maximum ( HWHM ).

Therefore, whether solving for one parameter or for both paramters simultaneously, a numerical solution on a computer is typically required.

If X is Cauchy distributed with median μ and scale parameter γ, then the complex variable

If is a wrapped Cauchy distribution with the parameter representing the parameters of the corresponding " unwrapped " Cauchy distribution in the variable y where, then

Changing the parameter a is equivalent to a uniform scaling of the curve.

The Hall effect in an ionized gas ( plasma ) is significantly different from the Hall effect in solids ( where the Hall parameter is always very inferior to unity ).

The Meissner effect does not cause the field to be completely ejected but instead the field penetrates the superconductor but only to a very small distance, characterized by a parameter λ, called the London penetration depth, decaying exponentially to zero within the bulk of the material.

The calibration of the calorimetric detectors is a key parameter and has to be performed very carefully.

With an uncertainty parameter of 0, the orbit of Toutatis is very well determined for the next few hundred years.

One easy trick for legacy code to adopt a more efficient model without major changes to its source code is simply to set the sleep parameter passed to WaitNextEvent to a very large value — on OS X, this puts the thread to sleep whenever there is nothing to do, and only returns an event when there is one to process.

In the finite element community, a method where the degree of the elements is very high or increases as the grid parameter h decreases to zero is sometimes called a spectral element method.

Another very common kind of higher-order function in those languages which support them are sorting functions which take a comparison function as a parameter, allowing the programmer to separate the sorting algorithm from the comparisons of the items being sorted.

The region of measurable parameter space that corresponds to a regime is very often loosely defined.

lead to accurate results as long as the expansion parameter, say, is very small.

This parameter ensures that even very small humps or hollows that can have significant effect to analysis will not disappear in mesh.

The joule rating is a commonly-quoted but very misleading parameter for comparing MOV-based surge protectors.

Thus naively taking the parameter to be zero changes the very nature of the problem.

They then define a black-box model as a model which is very general and thus containing little a priori information on the problem at hand and at the same time being combined with an efficient method for parameter estimation.

The C parameter reflects the size of the orifice, the ∆ P is the pressure differential across the orifice, and the n parameter represents the characteristic shape of the orifice, with values ranging from 0. 5 to 1, representing a perfect orifice and a very long, thin crack, respectively.

Therefore mobility is a very important parameter for semiconductor materials.

The temperature can be a very important parameter for species that cannot adapt to other conditions than those found in their natural habitat.

A very common special case is the symmetric Dirichlet distribution, where all of the elements making up the parameter vector have the same value.

Perl 5 defines subroutines without formal parameter lists at all ( though simple parameter counting and some very loose type checking can be done using Perl 5's " prototypes ").

In absence of more detailed data, this can be a very coarse parameter for pollution, e. g. for summer smog or indoor air pollution.

Another way to express this is that lead and pitch are parametrically related, and the parameter that relates them, the number of starts, very often has a value of 1, in which case their relationship becomes equality.

It is also possible to run BFGS using any of the L-BFGS algorithms by setting the parameter L to a very large number.

The data structure follows the skipped block with a series of volume descriptors, detailing the contents and types of information contained on the disk ( similar to the BIOS parameter block used by FAT and NTFS formatted disks ).

This reference is either acquired through a stringified Uniform Resource Identifier ( URI ) string, NameService lookup ( similar to Domain Name System ( DNS )), or passed-in as a method parameter during a call.

Most early signature schemes were of a similar type: they involve the use of a trapdoor permutation, such as the RSA function, or in the case of the Rabin signature scheme, computing square modulo composite n. A trapdoor permutation family is a family of permutations, specified by a parameter, that is easy to compute in the forward direction, but is difficult to compute in the reverse direction without already knowing the private key.

* storing the instances in a map, so you get the same instance the next time you ask for an instance with same parameter ( Multiton pattern, similar to the singleton pattern )

This parameter ensures that mesh is similar enough to the original analytical surface ( or the polyline is similar to the original curve ).

Fred Adams has done a similar study to Stenger, investigating the structure of stars in universes with different values of the gravitational constant G, the fine-structure constant α, and a nuclear reaction rate parameter C. His study suggests that roughly 25 % of this parameter space allows stars to exist.

A similar parameter exists to relate the magnitude of the induced dipole moment p of an individual molecule to the local electric field E that induced the dipole.

Values of the concentration parameter above 1 prefer variates that are dense, evenly distributed distributions, i. e. all probabilities returned are similar to each other.

The actual numerical procedure is quite similar, in that both are alternating iterative procedures that successively converge on optimum parameter values.

However, ambiguity arises if more than one package defines a < tt > New_Line </ tt > procedure with the same or similar parameter profiles.

In the systems sciences the term system equivalence is the notion that a parameter or component of a system behaves in a similar way as a parameter or component of a different system.

If one selects the parameter based on the glass transition temperature, then the parameters, become very similar for the wide class of polymers.

One plots the percentage of correct responses ( or a similar value ) displayed on the y-axis and the physical parameter on the x-axis.
