large deviations theory — a rate function is a function used to quantify the probabilities of rare events. Such functions are used to formulate large...

(often with respect to time) Rate function, a function used to quantify the probabilities of a rare event Reaction rate, in chemistry the speed at which...

transforms, quantization, and bit-rate allocation procedures that capitalize on the general shape of rate–distortion functions. Rate–distortion theory was created...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is regarded as the best overall measure of the kidney's ability to carry out these numerous functions. An estimate of the...

processing, the Nyquist rate, named after Harry Nyquist, is a value equal to twice the highest frequency (bandwidth) of a given function or signal. It has units...

hazard function (also called hazard rate), h ( t ) {\displaystyle h(t)} . This becomes the instantaneous failure rate or we say instantaneous hazard rate as...

continuous function to a discrete sequence and interpolates back to a continuous function, the fidelity of the result depends on the density (or sample rate) of...

gradient of the loss function, the learning rate determines how big a step is taken in that direction. A too high learning rate will make the learning...

an exponential function: it solves the initial value problem f ′ = a f ,   f ( 0 ) = a {\displaystyle f'=af,\ f(0)=a} , meaning its rate of change at each...

increasing rate are instances of exponential growth. For example the function f ( x ) = x 3 {\textstyle f(x)=x^{3}} grows at an ever increasing rate, but is...
