scale parameter in a sentence

Examples

1. In probability theory the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution is a chi distribution with three degrees of freedom and scale parameter a = \ sqrt { kT / m }.
2. For the cases where the " X " " i " are independent but have different scale parameters see Mathai ( 1982 ) and Moschopoulos ( 1984 ).
3. Like other stable distributions ( other than the normal distribution ), since the variance is infinite the dispersion in the distribution is reflected by the scale parameter, c.
4. The constant is a scaling parameter : its absolute value " A " } } determines the scale, while its argument introduces a rotation ( if non-zero ).
5. Witkin's seminal work in scale space included the notion that a one-dimensional signal could be unambiguously segmented into regions, with one scale parameter controlling the scale of segmentation.
6. The Pareto Type I distribution is characterized by a scale parameter " x " m and a shape parameter ?, which is known as the " tail index ".
7. The probability plot is then generated to find estimates of the location and scale parameters and in addition to provide a graphical assessment of the adequacy of the distributional fit.
8. The scale parameter is \ lambda > 0 which is the scale parameter of the unwrapped distribution and \ kappa > 0 is the asymmetry parameter of the unwrapped distribution.
9. The scale parameter is \ lambda > 0 which is the scale parameter of the unwrapped distribution and \ kappa > 0 is the asymmetry parameter of the unwrapped distribution.
10. It is relatively easy to construct pivots for location and scale parameters : for the former we form differences so that location cancels, for the latter ratios so that scale cancels.
