What's the difference between decursion and recursion?

Decursion


Definition:

  • (n.) A flowing; also, a hostile incursion.

Example Sentences:

Recursion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of recurring; return.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The feasibility of estimating these parameters, demonstrated by the present study, suggests that a recursive least squares estimation procedure could be used to recover the time variation of each parameter during exercise stress testing of subjects with normal or nearly normal gas exchange.
  • (2) We have investigated the properties of a recursive process in which the output signal from a given RF excitation pulse may be used as the input (excitation) pulse of a subsequent iteration.
  • (3) A simple recursive formula, which yields an estimate for the statistical error resulting from pipetting errors accumulated throughout a dilution procedure, is described.
  • (4) A new three dimensional (3-D) recursive tracing algorithm was proposed.
  • (5) In the experimental analog, genetic selection or screening applied during recursive ensemble mutagenesis should force the evolution of an ensemble of mutants to a targeted cluster of related phenotypes.
  • (6) To account for the superior prognosis of hyperdiploid, B-progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), we investigated the influence of trisomy in 1021 children greater than or equal to 1 year old by recursive partitioning analysis.
  • (7) The equilibrium equation for mixtures of two mutually competitive tight-binding ligands can be expressed in a recursive form, a form in which the dependent variable appears on both sides and the solution is found iteratively.
  • (8) Given the probability density, f(t), for time spent in the random compartment of the cell cycle, we derive a recursion relation for psi n(x), the probability density for cell size at birth in a sample of cells in generation n. For the case of exponential growth of cells, the recursion relation has no steady-state solution.
  • (9) Assuming bivariate normal distributions, it is shown that in the latter case genotypic and phenotypic means and variances, and genotype-phenotype correlation can be expressed recursively as functions of the parameters for the selection, environmental, and mutation variance.
  • (10) A simple recursive model of Palmore, George and Fillenbaum served as a theoretical guideline.
  • (11) A recursive procedure has been developed for separating the incoherent intensity from the coherent intensity via a Gaussian probability model of the membrane intra-pair separation.
  • (12) This paper concerns a recursive partitioning algorithm for incomplete survival data.
  • (13) And only by moving to this level do we avoid the vicious circularity that could befall the use of recursive systems.
  • (14) A recursive algorithm for estimating the higher-order statistics of arbitrary-function type, mean, and variance is obtained by introducing a new expansion form of Bayes' theorem.
  • (15) A recursive algorithm to compute the exact distribution of the conditional sufficient statistics of the parameters of the logistic model for such a design is given.
  • (16) A method of calculating inbreeding coefficients is described using a recursive algorithm.
  • (17) More complex cascades can be analysed recursively by subdividing them into simpler modules, which can be treated individually.
  • (18) The method uses a recursive algorithm for the solution of an initial-value problem in the time domain, combined with a fast Fourier transform (FFT) convolution in the space domain at each time step.
  • (19) Because it is a well known technique, the FFT method is only briefly described, while the philosophy of the MESE method is given in more detail and completed with a description of the recursive algorithm; (ii) select a frequency parameter suitable to describe the SMG.
  • (20) Both logistic regression and recursive partitioning methods for discrimination were tried.
