What's the difference between polynomial and trinomial?

Polynomial


Definition:

  • (n.) An expression composed of two or more terms, connected by the signs plus or minus; as, a2 - 2ab + b2.
  • (a.) Containing many names or terms; multinominal; as, the polynomial theorem.
  • (a.) Consisting of two or more words; having names consisting of two or more words; as, a polynomial name; polynomial nomenclature.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The dual-line and polynomial regression techniques fit the data better (mean residual square deviation 0.024 and 0.031, respectively) than the single-regression line approach (0.110).
  • (2) The N2O dose-response data for each animal were fit by a second-order polynomial equation to estimate the value of a second-order coefficient.
  • (3) The calculation is made from a newly derived third-degree polynomial reflecting the ratio of the optic densities of whole nonstabilized blood hemoglobin aqueous solution in the 560-580 and 535-560 nm bands.
  • (4) Relative dose functions for 125I for these phantom media are fitted to second-degree polynomials.
  • (5) For this purpose we employed a third-degree polynomial regression analysis which showed a better fit of the data.
  • (6) Changes in pressures (IAP, CVP) and shunt flow were tabulated and analyzed with linear and polynomial regression.
  • (7) Trend analysis of the fatigue patterns revealed that a cubic orthogonal polynomial equation was sufficient to describe the profile of MVC decrement for all conditions.
  • (8) The superiority of the R3SSE over two related equations--a simple second-degree polynomial equation and a simplified form of the R3SSE which neglects contributions to solubility from the solvent mixture--is also demonstrated for a number of solutes.
  • (9) The polynomial logit-log procedure gave the best fit, but this was probably due to the inherent flexibility of this curve-fitting process since the analytical precision achieved with it was not better than what was obtained with most of the other procedures.
  • (10) A theorem about correspondence of the graph constructed and coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of linearized kinetic equations is proved.
  • (11) A tabulation is given of the polynomials for all possible stereoisomers of many of the knotted and catenated forms that are found in DNA.
  • (12) We present a polynomial algorithm (O(n X L4), where n is the number of sequences) for generating strings related to the LCS and constructed with the sequence alphabet and an indetermination symbol.
  • (13) The LV volume curve was smoothed by fitting a fourth order polynomial curve of Fourier's analysis.
  • (14) This case reduces to Wyman's binding polynomial analysis.
  • (15) Hence, the dose response relationship for the trophic effect of gastrin on the enterochromaffin like cells seems to follow a polynomial rather than a linear function.
  • (16) Polynomial curves were fitted to each race and sex group and, from these, estimates were made of the 3rd, 50th, and 97th percentiles for height and weight.
  • (17) The H-H rate constants, alpha and beta, are approximated by polynomial functions rather than exponential functions, since the former are handled more efficiently by SPICE.
  • (18) A third-order polynomial function would theoretically explain better than a linear relation or a parabolic fit the curved shape of experimentally obtained P-Q relationships.
  • (19) A polynomial regression fits the best the results: the speed of acquisition of this kind of learning decreases between the ages of 3 and 35 days, a plateau being observed in flies older than 35 days.
  • (20) It involves a conceptual dissection of the polypeptide chain into interacting blocks; the behavior of any block with side-chain interactions is treated then with conventional binding polynomial techniques.

Trinomial


Definition:

  • (n.) A quantity consisting of three terms, connected by the sign + or -; as, x + y + z, or ax + 2b - c2.
  • (a.) Consisting of three terms; of or pertaining to trinomials; as, a trinomial root.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This paper presents a Dirichlet-trinomial distribution for modelling data obtained from reproductive and developmental studies.
  • (2) The Dirichlet-trinomial model provides a procedure for the analysis of multiple endpoints simultaneously.
  • (3) This proposed Dirichlet-trinomial model is a generalization of the beta-binomial model that has been used for handling the litter effect in reproductive and developmental experiments.
  • (4) The pretrial and trial data can be analysed by negative trinomial models.
  • (5) It is proposed to use a trinomial system of nomenclature for these groups: Babesia canis canis (Piana and Galli-Valerio, 1895), Babesia canis vogeli Reichenow, 1937, and Babesia canis rossi (Nuttall, 1910), having Dermacentor, Rhipicephalus and Haemaphysalis ticks as their vectors respectively.
  • (6) The proposed test procedure based on the Dirichlet-trinomial model is compared with that based on the beta-binomial model with an application to a real data set.
  • (7) If both camps were in operation throughout the migration and if the probability of missing a whale were constant, the removal method would provide a population size estimate based on a trinomial model in which the size of the population would be the number of trials, whales counted by each camp would provide the observed cell totals, and whales missed by both camps would represent an unobserved cell total.
  • (8) Since the probability of missing a whale depends on visibility, we model the population size as the sum of the number of trials of several independent trinomial distributions, each of which represents a particular visibility condition occurring during the census.
