Robust regressionIn robust statistics, robust regression seeks to overcome some limitations of traditional regression analysis. A regression analysis models the relationship between one or more independent variables and a dependent variable. Standard types of regression, such as ordinary least squares, have favourable properties if their underlying assumptions are true, but can give misleading results otherwise (i.e. are not robust to assumption violations).
Learning rateIn machine learning and statistics, the learning rate is a tuning parameter in an optimization algorithm that determines the step size at each iteration while moving toward a minimum of a loss function. Since it influences to what extent newly acquired information overrides old information, it metaphorically represents the speed at which a machine learning model "learns". In the adaptive control literature, the learning rate is commonly referred to as gain. In setting a learning rate, there is a trade-off between the rate of convergence and overshooting.
List of repetitive strain injury softwareRepetitive strain injuries (RSI) are injuries to the body's muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, bones, or nerves caused by repetitive movements. Such injuries are more likely if the movements required force or were accompanied by vibrations, compression, or the maintenance of sustained or awkward positions. Prolonged use of computer equipment can result in upper limb disorders, notably in the wrist or the back. RSIs are a subset of musculoskeletal disorders.
Hypothèse de perturbation intermédiaireL’hypothèse de perturbation intermédiaire est un terme écologique qui décrit les effets des degrés de perturbations sur la diversité des espèces. Cette hypothèse propose qu’un niveau intermédiaire de perturbation (intensité intermédiaire ou fréquence intermédiaire) donnera la plus grande diversité d'espèces locales. Après une perturbation rare ou de faible intensité (ex. l'action des vagues océaniques), la diversité des espèces diminue à cause de l'exclusion d’espèces compétitives inférieures de la communauté.
