quantitative variable may be continuous or discrete. If it can take on two real values and all the values between them, the variable is continuous in that...

dynamics, discrete time and continuous time are two alternative frameworks within which variables that evolve over time are modeled. Discrete time views...

applied mathematics, discretization is the process of transferring continuous functions, models, variables, and equations into discrete counterparts. This...

describe the evolution of some continuous variable (such as strain or pressure) as a function of time and/or space. Discrete spectra are also produced by...

to analyze samples of a continuous function. The term discrete-time refers to the fact that the transform operates on discrete data, often samples whose...

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is an automated transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios, typically resulting...

performance, fuel economy or emissions. There are two main types of VVL: discrete, which employs fixed valve lift amounts, and continuous, which is able to vary...

Continuous optimization is a branch of optimization in applied mathematics. As opposed to discrete optimization, the variables used in the objective function...

Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that can be considered "discrete" (in a way analogous to discrete variables, having a bijection...

discrete Fourier series (DFS) is a Fourier series whose sinusoidal components are functions of a discrete variable instead of a continuous variable....

may be continuous or discrete variables in any combination. However, even when all the members are themselves continuous, a model containing one or more...

class analysis, the manifest variables are discrete. These variables could be dichotomous, ordinal or nominal variables. Their conditional distributions...

switching can also provide variable valve lift and variable duration, however the adjustment is discrete rather than continuous. The first production use...

the index variable takes a continuous set of values, as contrasted with a discrete-time process for which the index variable takes only distinct values...

In probability theory and statistics, the discrete uniform distribution is a symmetric probability distribution wherein each of some finite whole number...
