Analysis
Dictionary Definition
This section should refer to real dictionary definitions with references.
- Detailed study of a system or of results in the service of interpretation or evaluation.
- (mathematics) the branch of mathematics that proves theories concerning ordinary and differential functions.
Committee Definition
This section will include definitions of a term proposed and vetted by the Committee.
Proposed: Any activity involving the focused examination of a system or interaction of systems (mathematical, biological, physiologic or engineering), post processing of data, and simulation results with the intent of making interpretations or conclusions that may or may not lead to a decision that influence research or clinical decision.
Domain Specific Usage
This section should refer to any contextual or domain/discipline-specific definition, which has been vetted or agreed by the experts of the particular area.
Engineering and Biomedical (NASA): Any post-processing or interpretation of the individual values, arrays, files of data, or suites of executions resulting from a simulation.1
Mathematical sense (def 2 above): Pertaining to systems of equations which can be formally assessed through proofs. In this sense, we contrast large simulations which are non-analytic due to their high dimensionality, with low-dimensional systems which are amenable to these classical mathematical tools of analysis.
Notes & Discussions
Any issues, comments related to definitions provided by others can be raised in this section. If you have a specific, personal way of using a term, describe here with examples.
