A non-linear function So we saw previously that the derivative is the rate of change of our function. We express this as $ f' (x) = \frac {\Delta f} {\Delta x}$. So far we have only calculated the ...

Often in economics a linear function cannot explain the relationship between variables. In such cases a non-linear function must be used. Non-linear means the graph is not a straight line. The graph ...

Derivatives of Non-Linear Functions Introduction In the last lesson, we saw that the derivative was the rate of change and that the derivative of a straight line is a constant. Let's explore ...

Plant growth is an essential ecological process, integrating across scales from physiology to community dynamics. Predicting the growth of plants is essential to understand a wide range of ecological ...

Abstract: Activation functions provide the non-linearity to deep neural networks, which are crucial for the optimization and performance improvement. In this paper, we propose a learnable continuous ...

Proper handling of continuous variables is crucial in healthcare research, for example, within regression modelling for descriptive, explanatory, or predictive purposes. However, inadequate methods ...

Modern video displays provide improved performance compared to, now obsolete, cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. In particular they are now starting to provide brighter images and deeper blacks. In ...
