ParameterA parameter (), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. Parameter has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition.
Quantification (signal)En traitement des signaux, la quantification est le procédé qui permet d'approcher un signal continu par les valeurs d'un ensemble discret d'assez petite taille. On parle aussi de quantification pour approcher un signal à valeurs dans un ensemble discret de grande taille par un ensemble plus restreint. L'application la plus courante de la quantification est la conversion analogique-numérique mais elle doit le développement de sa théorie aux problèmes de quantification pour la compression de signaux audio ou .
Grey box modelIn mathematics, statistics, and computational modelling, a grey box model combines a partial theoretical structure with data to complete the model. The theoretical structure may vary from information on the smoothness of results, to models that need only parameter values from data or existing literature. Thus, almost all models are grey box models as opposed to black box where no model form is assumed or white box models that are purely theoretical. Some models assume a special form such as a linear regression or neural network.
