Échantillonnage (statistiques)thumb|Exemple d'échantillonnage aléatoire En statistique, l'échantillonnage désigne les méthodes de sélection d'un sous-ensemble d'individus (un échantillon) à l'intérieur d'une population pour estimer les caractéristiques de l'ensemble de la population. Cette méthode présente plusieurs avantages : une étude restreinte sur une partie de la population, un moindre coût, une collecte des données plus rapide que si l'étude avait été réalisé sur l'ensemble de la population, la réalisation de contrôles destructifs Les résultats obtenus constituent un échantillon.
Comparison of analog and digital recordingSound can be recorded and stored and played using either digital or analog techniques. Both techniques introduce errors and distortions in the sound, and these methods can be systematically compared. Musicians and listeners have argued over the superiority of digital versus analog sound recordings. Arguments for analog systems include the absence of fundamental error mechanisms which are present in digital audio systems, including aliasing and associated anti-aliasing filter implementation, jitter and quantization noise.
Échantillonnage stratifiévignette|Vous prenez un échantillon aléatoire stratifié en divisant d'abord la population en groupes homogènes (semblables en eux-mêmes) (strates) qui sont distincts les uns des autres, c'est-à-dire. Le groupe 1 est différent du groupe 2. Ensuite, choisissez un EAS (échantillon aléatoire simple) distinct dans chaque strate et combinez ces EAS pour former l'échantillon complet. L'échantillonnage aléatoire stratifié est utilisé pour produire des échantillons non biaisés.
Facteur de bruitLe facteur de bruit (noise figure ou noise factor en anglais) d'un dispositif électronique quelconque, actif ou passif, quantifie la dégradation relative du rapport signal sur bruit entre sa sortie et son entrée, et ce en prenant comme hypothèse que la température ambiante est de , donc que le bruit de fond en entrée est un bruit thermique correspondant à cette température de référence de . Autrement dit, le facteur de bruit est défini comme le quotient des rapports signal sur bruit en entrée et en sortie de ce même dispositif quand le bruit en entrée est un bruit thermique à la température normalisée To=.
Circuit booléenvignette|Exemple circuit booléen à deux entrées et une sortie. Le circuit contient 3 portes logique. En théorie de la complexité, un circuit booléen est un modèle de calcul constitué de portes logiques (fonctions logiques) reliées entre elles. C'est une façon de représenter une fonction booléenne. Un circuit booléen peut être utilisé pour reconnaître un langage formel, c'est-à-dire décider si un mot appartient ou non à un langage particulier. Les caractéristiques des circuits qui reconnaissent un langage permettent de définir (ou redéfinir) des classes de complexité.
Circuit (computer science)In theoretical computer science, a circuit is a model of computation in which input values proceed through a sequence of gates, each of which computes a function. Circuits of this kind provide a generalization of Boolean circuits and a mathematical model for digital logic circuits. Circuits are defined by the gates they contain and the values the gates can produce. For example, the values in a Boolean circuit are boolean values, and the circuit includes conjunction, disjunction, and negation gates.
Convenience samplingConvenience sampling (also known as grab sampling, accidental sampling, or opportunity sampling) is a type of non-probability sampling that involves the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is close to hand. This type of sampling is most useful for pilot testing. Convenience sampling is not often recommended for research due to the possibility of sampling error and lack of representation of the population. But it can be handy depending on the situation. In some situations, convenience sampling is the only possible option.
Digital imagingDigital imaging or digital image acquisition is the creation of a digital representation of the visual characteristics of an object, such as a physical scene or the interior structure of an object. The term is often assumed to imply or include the , , , printing and display of such images. A key advantage of a , versus an analog image such as a film photograph, is the ability to digitally propagate copies of the original subject indefinitely without any loss of image quality.
Cluster samplingIn statistics, cluster sampling is a sampling plan used when mutually homogeneous yet internally heterogeneous groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this sampling plan, the total population is divided into these groups (known as clusters) and a simple random sample of the groups is selected. The elements in each cluster are then sampled. If all elements in each sampled cluster are sampled, then this is referred to as a "one-stage" cluster sampling plan.
Nonprobability samplingSampling is the use of a subset of the population to represent the whole population or to inform about (social) processes that are meaningful beyond the particular cases, individuals or sites studied. Probability sampling, or random sampling, is a sampling technique in which the probability of getting any particular sample may be calculated. In cases where external validity is not of critical importance to the study's goals or purpose, researchers might prefer to use nonprobability sampling.
Bit slicingBit slicing is a technique for constructing a processor from modules of processors of smaller bit width, for the purpose of increasing the word length; in theory to make an arbitrary n-bit central processing unit (CPU). Each of these component modules processes one bit field or "slice" of an operand. The grouped processing components would then have the capability to process the chosen full word-length of a given software design. Bit slicing more or less died out due to the advent of the microprocessor.
Circuits statiques et dynamiquesIn integrated circuit design, dynamic logic (or sometimes clocked logic) is a design methodology in combinational logic circuits, particularly those implemented in metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) technology. It is distinguished from the so-called static logic by exploiting temporary storage of information in stray and gate capacitances. It was popular in the 1970s and has seen a recent resurgence in the design of high-speed digital electronics, particularly central processing units (CPUs).
