WordDefinition
sigmoidnoun(mathematics) Ellipsis of sigmoid function. [(mathematical analysis, statistics) Any of various real functions whose graph resembles an elongated letter "S"; specifically, the logistic function y=(eˣ)/(eˣ+1)=1/(1+e⁻ˣ).]
sigmoidalsigmoid; S-shaped.
logistic functionnoun(mathematics) A function, the result of the division of two exponential functions, that gives rise to the logistic curve.
error functionnoun(mathematics, statistics, probability theory) A sigmoid function giving the probability that a measurement, under the influence of normally distributed errors with standard deviation, is within a certain distance from the mean value.
logistic(operations) Relating to logistics.
sincnoun(mathematics) Ellipsis of sinc function: f = sin(x)/x.
softmaxnoun(mathematics, statistics) A generalization of the logistic function that "squashes" a K-dimensional vector mathbf z of arbitrary real values to a K-dimensional vector σ( mathbf z) of real values in the range (0, 1).
special functionnounAny of various specific mathematical functions that have more or less established names and notations due to their importance.
signum functionnoun(mathematics) The function that determines the sign of a real number, yielding −1 if negative, +1 if positive, or otherwise zero.
step functionnoun(mathematics) A function from the real line to a finite subset of the real line.

logitnoun(mathematics) the inverse of the "sigmoid" or "logistic" function used in mathematics, especially in statistics. The logit of a number p between 0 and 1 is given by the formula:
hyperbolic sinenoun(mathematics) A hyperbolic function that is the analogue of the sine function for hyperbolic spaces, taking in a hyperbolic angle as an argument and returning the y-coordinate for the corresponding point on the unit hyperbola. It is written in symbol sinh and can be represented as: sinh (x)= tfrac 1 2(eˣ-e⁻ˣ)
exponential functionnoun(mathematics) Any function in which an independent variable is in the form of an exponent; they are the inverse functions of logarithms
symmetric functionnoun(mathematics) Any function, of multiple variables, whose value is independent of the order of the variables, i.e. f(a,b) = f(b,a).
simple functionnoun(mathematical analysis) Any complex-valued measurable function whose range is finite.
signumnounA sign, mark, or symbol.
forcing functionnoun(graphical user interface) An aspect of interface design that restricts a user's abilities in order to streamline completion of a task.
