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

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...

(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...

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

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...

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...

Heart rate is the frequency of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per minute (beats per minute, or bpm). The heart rate varies...

activation function is usually an abstraction representing the rate of action potential firing in the cell. In its simplest form, this function is binary—that...
