3 days ago · Continuity at a Point. Before we look at a formal definition of what it means for a function to be continuous at a point, let’s consider various functions that fail to meet our intuitive notion of what it means to be continuous at a point. We then create a list of conditions that prevent such failures.
3 days ago · Definition: Derivative. Let f(x) be a function defined in an open interval containing a. The derivative of the function f(x) at a, denoted by f′ (a), is defined by. f′ (a) = lim x → a f(x) − f(a) x − a. provided this limit exists. Alternatively, we may also define the derivative of f(x) at a as.
2 days ago · Discrete cosine transform. A discrete cosine transform ( DCT) expresses a finite sequence of data points in terms of a sum of cosine functions oscillating at different frequencies. The DCT, first proposed by Nasir Ahmed in 1972, is a widely used transformation technique in signal processing and data compression.
4 days ago · First the data need to be arranged in a matrix with size n x 2, where n is the number of data points we have. Then we can perform that PCA analysis. The calculated mean (i.e. center of mass) is stored in the cntr variable and the eigenvectors and eigenvalues are stored in the corresponding std::vector’s.
