for some fixed τ , which is called the period of f . Though function approximation using orthogonal polynomials is very convenient, there is only one kind of periodic polynomial, that is, a constant. So, polynomials are not good for approximating periodic functions. In this case, trigonometric functions are quite useful. A large class of important computational problems falls under the category...

1. The table below reports from a developmental toxicity study involving ordinal categorical outcomes. This study administered diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (an industrial solvent used in the manufacture of protective coatings) to pregnant mice. Each mouse ws exposed to one of five concentration levels for ten days early in the pregnancy (with concentration 0 corresponding to controls). Two ...
