https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total%20correlation | In probability theory and in particular in information theory, total correlation (Watanabe 1960) is one of several generalizations of the mutual information. It is also known as the multivariate constraint (Garner 1962) or multiinformation (Studený & Vejnarová 1999). It quantifies the redundancy or dependency among a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%20ideal%20ring | In mathematics, a principal right (left) ideal ring is a ring R in which every right (left) ideal is of the form xR (Rx) for some element x of R. (The right and left ideals of this form, generated by one element, are called principal ideals.) When this is satisfied for both left and right ideals, such as the case whe... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction%20information | The interaction information is a generalization of the mutual information for more than two variables.
There are many names for interaction information, including amount of information, information correlation, co-information, and simply mutual information. Interaction information expresses the amount of information (... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed%20system%20%28control%20theory%29 | The terms closed system and open system have long been defined in the widely (and long before any sort of amplifier was invented) established subject of thermodynamics, in terms that have nothing to do with the concepts of feedback and feedforward. The terms 'feedforward' and 'feedback' arose first in the 1920s in the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended%20finite-state%20machine | In a conventional finite state machine, the transition is associated with a set of input Boolean conditions and a set of output Boolean functions. In an extended finite state machine (EFSM) model, the transition can be expressed by an “if statement” consisting of a set of trigger conditions. If trigger conditions are a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatch%20mark | Hatch marks (also called hash marks or tick marks) are a form of mathematical notation. They are used in three ways as:
Unit and value marks — as on a ruler or number line
Congruence notation in geometry — as on a geometric figure
Graphed points — as on a graph
Hatch marks are frequently used as an abbreviation of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz%20mean | In mathematics, the Heinz mean (named after E. Heinz) of two non-negative real numbers A and B, was defined by Bhatia as:
with 0 ≤ x ≤ .
For different values of x, this Heinz mean interpolates between the arithmetic (x = 0) and geometric (x = 1/2) means such that for 0 < x < :
The Heinz means appear naturally when s... |

The neurotransmitter for these cells is dopamine. They are a neural crest derivative and share a common sympathoadrenal precursor cel... |
