Critère de Nyquistvignette|droite|Diagramme de Nyquist de la fonction de transfert . Le critère de stabilité de Nyquist est une règle graphique utilisée en automatique et en théorie de la stabilité, qui permet de déterminer si un système dynamique est stable. Il a été formulé indépendamment par deux électrotechniciens : l'Allemand Felix Strecker de Siemens en 1930 et l'Américain Harry Nyquist des Laboratoires Bell en 1932.
Sampling errorIn statistics, sampling errors are incurred when the statistical characteristics of a population are estimated from a subset, or sample, of that population. It can produced biased results. Since the sample does not include all members of the population, statistics of the sample (often known as estimators), such as means and quartiles, generally differ from the statistics of the entire population (known as parameters). The difference between the sample statistic and population parameter is considered the sampling error.
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.
Théorie du contrôleEn mathématiques et en sciences de l'ingénieur, la théorie du contrôle a comme objet l'étude du comportement de systèmes dynamiques paramétrés en fonction des trajectoires de leurs paramètres. On se place dans un ensemble, l'espace d'état sur lequel on définit une dynamique, c'est-à-dire une loi mathématiques caractérisant l'évolution de variables (dites variables d'état) au sein de cet ensemble. Le déroulement du temps est modélisé par un entier .
Queuing delayIn telecommunication and computer engineering, the queuing delay or queueing delay is the time a job waits in a queue until it can be executed. It is a key component of network delay. In a switched network, queuing delay is the time between the completion of signaling by the call originator and the arrival of a ringing signal at the call receiver. Queuing delay may be caused by delays at the originating switch, intermediate switches, or the call receiver servicing switch.
Survey samplingIn statistics, survey sampling describes the process of selecting a sample of elements from a target population to conduct a survey. The term "survey" may refer to many different types or techniques of observation. In survey sampling it most often involves a questionnaire used to measure the characteristics and/or attitudes of people. Different ways of contacting members of a sample once they have been selected is the subject of survey data collection.
End-to-end delayEnd-to-end delay or one-way delay (OWD) refers to the time taken for a packet to be transmitted across a network from source to destination. It is a common term in IP network monitoring, and differs from round-trip time (RTT) in that only path in the one direction from source to destination is measured. The ping utility measures the RTT, that is, the time to go and come back to a host. Half the RTT is often used as an approximation of OWD but this assumes that the forward and back paths are the same in terms of congestion, number of hops, or quality of service (QoS).
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.
Signal propagation delayPropagation delay is the time duration taken for a signal to reach its destination. It can relate to networking, electronics or physics. In computer networks, propagation delay is the amount of time it takes for the head of the signal to travel from the sender to the receiver. It can be computed as the ratio between the link length and the propagation speed over the specific medium. Propagation delay is equal to d / s where d is the distance and s is the wave propagation speed. In wireless communication, s=c, i.
Délai de commutationLe délai de commutation est le temps nécessaire à un commutateur pour recevoir complètement un paquet et le retransmettre sur un système à commutation de paquets en mode différé (ou mode Store and Forward). Le délai de commutation est généralement mesuré en multiples ou en fractions de seconde. Le délai peut différer légèrement, selon l'emplacement de la paire spécifique de points de terminaison de communication.
Réseau superposéthumb|Un réseau superposé et ses couches successives. Un réseau superposé, ou réseau overlay, est un réseau informatique bâti sur un autre réseau. Les nœuds du réseau superposé sont interconnectés par des liens logiques du réseau sous-jacent. La complexité du réseau sous-jacent n'est pas visible par le réseau superposé. Cette abstraction du réseau sous-jacent est une source d'inefficacité des flux, qui peuvent transiter plusieurs fois par les mêmes liens physiques.
Transmission delayIn a network based on packet switching, transmission delay (or store-and-forward delay, also known as packetization delay or serialization delay) is the amount of time required to push all the packet's bits into the wire. In other words, this is the delay caused by the data-rate of the link. Transmission delay is a function of the packet's length and has nothing to do with the distance between the two nodes.
