Dependent and independent variablesDependent and independent variables are variables in mathematical modeling, statistical modeling and experimental sciences. Dependent variables are studied under the supposition or demand that they depend, by some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical function), on the values of other variables. Independent variables, in turn, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of the experiment in question. In this sense, some common independent variables are time, space, density, mass, fluid flow rate, and previous values of some observed value of interest (e.
Optimal designIn the design of experiments, optimal designs (or optimum designs) are a class of experimental designs that are optimal with respect to some statistical criterion. The creation of this field of statistics has been credited to Danish statistician Kirstine Smith. In the design of experiments for estimating statistical models, optimal designs allow parameters to be estimated without bias and with minimum variance. A non-optimal design requires a greater number of experimental runs to estimate the parameters with the same precision as an optimal design.
InverseEn mathématiques, l'inverse d'un élément x (s'il existe) est le nom donné à l'élément symétrique, lorsque la loi est notée multiplicativement. Dans le cas réel, il s'agit du nombre qui, multiplié par x, donne 1. On le note x ou 1/x. Par exemple, dans , l'inverse de 3 est , puisque . Soit un monoïde, un ensemble muni d'une loi de composition interne associative, qu'on note , et d'un élément neutre pour noté 1. Un élément est dit inversible à gauche (respectivement inversible à droite) s'il existe un élément tel que (respectivement ).
Cmax (pharmacology)DISPLAYTITLE:Cmax (pharmacology) Cmax is the maximum (or peak) serum concentration that a drug achieves in a specified compartment or test area of the body after the drug has been administered and before the administration of a second dose. It is a standard measurement in pharmacokinetics. Cmax is the opposite of Cmin, which is the minimum (or trough) concentration that a drug achieves after dosing. The related pharmacokinetic parameter tmax is the time at which the Cmax is observed.
