Taylor diagram

Taylor diagrams are mathematical diagrams designed to graphically indicate which of several approximate representations (or models) of a system, process, or phenomenon is most realistic. This diagram, invented by Karl E. Taylor in 1994 (published in 2001) facilitates the comparative assessment of different models. It is used to quantify the degree of correspondence between the modeled and observed behavior in terms of three statistics: the Pearson correlation coefficient, the root-mean-square error (RMSE) error, and the standard deviation. Although Taylor diagrams have primarily been used to evaluate models designed to study climate and other aspects of Earth's environment, they can be used for purposes unrelated to environmental science (e.g., to quantify and visually display how well fusion energy models represent reality). Taylor diagrams can be constructed with a number of different open source and commercial software packages, including: GrADS, IDL, MATLAB, NCL, Python, R, and CDAT. (Wikipedia).

B7 The Taylor polynomial

In this video I repeat the look at the Taylor expansion of e to the power x so that you can become familiar with it. Calculating the derivative of the Taylor expansion of e to the power x, just gives you the Taylor expansion of e to the power x!

B6 The Taylor polynomial

One topic in basic calculus that you may not have seen before that is that of the Taylor expansion of a function. It is a series that can be used in stead of the actual function around a certain x-value for easier calculations.

The Taylor Series

In this video we discuss the Taylor Series (and the closely related Maclaurin Series). These are two specific types of Power Series that allow you to approximate a function with derivatives of the function at an expansion point. We show how to derive the Taylor Series coefficients in sin

Fourier Series Coefficients (where did they come from?)

Learn how to derive the Fourier series coefficients formulas. Remember, a Fourier series is a series representation of a function with sin(nx) and cos(nx) as its building blocks. Meanwhile, a Taylor series is a series representation of a function with x^n as its building blocks. These are

Norbert Müller : Wrapping in exact real arithmetic

Abstract : A serious problem common to all interval algorithms is that they suffer from wrapping effects, i.e. unnecessary growth of approximations during a computation. This is essentially connected to functional dependencies inside vectors of data computed from the same inputs. Reducing
