Sentence examples for ancillary parameters from inspiring English sources

In fact, some parameters are simply "ancillary" parameters required for correct composition of platform models, and as such not related with the robustness of the solution.

AIC is defined as AIC = − 2 log likelihood) + 2(c + p + 1), where c is the number of explanatory variables and p is the number of model-specific ancillary parameters, that is, two ancillary parameters for generalized gamma and one for the other models.

Each application however may have different ancillary parameters, and these may affect the costs involved.

In this case, the shape (s) and scale parameters are the ancillary parameters to be estimated (see Figure 1 in the previous paper Bradburn et al, 2003).

The actual shapes of these distributions (e.g. the point in time at which a hazard 'peaks' or the gradient at which it increases/decreases) depend on ancillary parameters that are also estimated from the data.
