Any straight line graph has a constant gradient, which is calculated by the change in 𝑦 divided by the change in 𝑥, along any section of the graph. The gradient is measuring the steepness of the ...

In robust statistics, the concept of breakdown point was introduced to quantify the robustness of an estimator in a linear regression model. Computing the breakdown point is useful in tuning some ...

The stress–strain behaviors of viscoelastic materials are often simulated using a model composed of various combinations of springs and dampers. With the increase in the number of springs and dampers, ...
