Parametrilised

Parametrised is a term used to describe something that has been described or defined using parameters. Parameters are variables that are used to control the behavior or characteristics of a system, model, or process. In mathematics and computer science, parametrised functions or equations are common. For example, a line can be parametrised by its starting point and direction vector. A curve can be parametrised by a single variable, often denoted by 't', where the x and y coordinates of any point on the curve are expressed as functions of 't'.

In engineering and physics, parameters are crucial for describing physical systems. For instance, the motion of a projectile can be parametrised by its initial velocity, launch angle, and gravitational acceleration. In software development, a parametrised function or method accepts arguments that modify its operation. This allows for greater flexibility and reusability of code. Similarly, in statistical modeling, parameters represent the unknown values that characterise a probability distribution or a relationship between variables. Estimating these parameters from data is a fundamental task in statistical inference. The concept of parametrisation is also relevant in areas like computer graphics, where objects can be defined by a set of parameters, and in machine learning, where models learn optimal parameter values from training data.
