What's the difference between preceding and recursive?

Preceding


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Precede
  • (a.) Going before; -- opposed to following.
  • (a.) In the direction toward which stars appear to move. See Following, 2.

Recursive


Definition:

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.
