Etymology

From French paramètre, from New Latin parametrum (“parameter”), from Ancient Greek παρα- (para-, “beside”) + μέτρον (métron, “measure”).

Meanings

A value kept constant during an experiment, equation, calculation, or similar, but varied over other versions of the experiment, equation, calculation, etc.
- The independent parameters of a system or network over F(z) reflect its structure and determine its structural properties (such as the reducibility of coefficient matrix A and its characteristic polynomial det(λI −A), controllability and observability over F(z), etc.). 2012, Kai-Sheng Lu, Rational Function Systems and Electrical Networks with Multi-Parameters, →ISBN:
- As molecular surface-to-surface contacts control both solution phenomena and surface phenomena, it is not surprising that various correlations of cohesion parameters and surface phenomena can be found. 2007, Charles M. Hansen, Hansen Solubility Parameters, →ISBN:
- On the other hand, if we have suitable data, we may be able to develop some direct computational methods for the essentially nonlinear parameter identification problems, in which fewer or even no nonlinear processes are involved. 2014, M. Amouroux, A. El Jai, Control of Distributed Parameter Systems 1989, →ISBN:
A variable that describes a property or characteristic of some system (material, object, event, etc.) or some aspect thereof.
- Cohesion parameters (solubility parameters) can be used with full theoretical justification to characterize many surfaces ... 2007, Charles M. Hansen, Hansen Solubility Parameters: A User's Handbook, Second Edition, CRC Press, →ISBN, page 113:
- To this end, we derive an a posteriori error estimator for the error with respect to the unknown parameter. 2012, Wolfgang Desch, Franz Kappel, Karl Kunisch, Control and Estimation of Distributed Parameter Systems: International Conference in Maria Trost (Austria), July 15–21, 2001, Birkhäuser, →ISBN, page 41:
A variable that describes a property or characteristic of some system (material, object, event, etc.) or some aspect thereof. ▸ Any measured quantity of a statistical population that summarises or describes an aspect of the population.
(qualifier:machine learning) A variable that describes a property or characteristic of some system (material, object, event, etc.) or some aspect thereof. ▸ A variable of a model that is trained by a machine learning algorithm.
- Fundamental is the regulation of a for-profit OpenAI. The company initially delayed the launch of its earlier GPT-2, with a mere 1.5bn parameters, because the company fretted over its implications. 2020 August 11, “The Guardian view on artificial intelligence's revolution: learning but not as we know it”, in The Guardian:
- The parameter estimation problem considered in this chapter consists of estimating the unknown parameter, ū [a barred v, actually], given N samples of the observation process. 2012, Michael Lemmon, Competitively Inhibited Neural Networks for Adaptive Parameter Estimation, Springer Science & Business Media, →ISBN, page 74:
An input variable of a function definition, that gets an actual value (argument) at execution time.
(broadly) An actual value given to such a formal parameter.
A characteristic or feature that distinguishes something from others.
In the ellipse and hyperbola, a third proportional to any diameter and its conjugate, or in the parabola, to any abscissa and the corresponding ordinate.
- The parameter of the principal axis of a conic section is called the latus rectum.
(abbreviation, alt-of, clipping, qualifier:commutative algebra) Clipping of uniformizing parameter.
alt of uniformizing parameter
The ratio of the three crystallographic axes which determines the position of any plane.
The fundamental axial ratio for a given species.
