Parametriset
Parametriset refers to objects, equations, or models that are defined by one or more parameters. A parameter is a variable whose value selects a particular member of a family of objects. Parametriset descriptions separate the description of a shape or distribution from its exact instantiation, enabling easy modification and systematic exploration of alternatives.
In mathematics, curves and surfaces are often given parametrically by functions such as x = f(t), y =
In statistics, a parametric model specifies a family of distributions characterized by a finite-dimensional parameter vector.
In design and engineering, parametric modelling uses parameters and constraints to define objects. Changing a parameter
In computer graphics, parametric curves and surfaces underpin rendering and modeling. Techniques such as splines and
