paramétricas

Paramétricas refers to a concept, often found in mathematics, statistics, and computer science, that deals with functions or models whose behavior is determined by a set of parameters. These parameters are variables that can be adjusted to change the output or characteristics of the function or model. For example, in a linear function y = mx + c, 'm' and 'c' are parameters that define the slope and y-intercept of the line. By changing these parameters, we can generate an infinite number of different lines.

In statistical modeling, parametric models assume that the data follows a specific probability distribution, and the parameters of that distribution are estimated from the data. Examples include linear regression, logistic regression, and normal distribution models. The advantage of parametric models is that they are often more powerful and efficient when their assumptions about the data are correct. However, if the assumed distribution is wrong, the model's predictions can be inaccurate.

In computer graphics, parametric curves and surfaces are defined by equations that use parameters to control their shape and form. These are widely used in design and animation. The term "paramétricas" emphasizes the role of these adjustable variables in defining and controlling the properties of a system or object. The choice of whether to use a parametric approach depends on the problem's nature and the desired level of control and flexibility.
