The Rao–Blackwell theorem states that if g ( X) is any kind of estimator of a parameter θ, then the conditional expectation of g ( X) given T ( X ), where T is a sufficient statistic, is typically a better estimator of θ, and is never worse. Sometimes one can very easily construct a very crude estimator g ( X ), and then evaluate that ...
Parameter (computer programming) In computer programming, a parameter or a formal argument is a special kind of variable used in a subroutine to refer to one of the pieces of data provided as input to the subroutine. [ a][ 1] These pieces of data are the values [ 2][ 3][ 4] of the arguments (often called actual arguments or actual parameters ...
Procedural programming is a programming paradigm, classified as imperative programming, [ 1] that involves implementing the behavior of a computer program as procedures (a.k.a. functions, subroutines) that call each other. The resulting program is a series of steps that forms a hierarchy of calls to its constituent procedures.
The Specification and Description Language covers five main aspects: structure, communication, behavior, data, and inheritance. The behavior of components is explained by partitioning the system into a series of hierarchies. Communication between the components takes place through gates connected by channels. The channels are of delayed channel ...
In computing, text-based user interfaces ( TUI) (alternately terminal user interfaces, to reflect a dependence upon the properties of computer terminals and not just text), is a retronym describing a type of user interface (UI) common as an early form of human–computer interaction, before the advent of bitmapped displays and modern ...
The Current Procedural Terminology ( CPT) code set is a procedural code set developed by the American Medical Association (AMA). It is maintained by the CPT Editorial Panel. [ 1] The CPT code set describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and is designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among ...
Message passing is a technique for invoking behavior (i.e., running a program) on a computer. In contrast to the traditional technique of calling a program by name, message passing uses an object model to distinguish the general function from the specific implementations. The invoking program sends a message and relies on the object to select ...
Procedure word. Procedure words (abbreviated to prowords) are words or phrases limited to radio telephone procedure used to facilitate communication by conveying information in a condensed standard verbal format. [ 1] Prowords are voice versions of the much older procedural signs for Morse code which were first developed in the 1860s for Morse ...
