- parametricpositive
- more parametriccomparative
- most parametricsuperlative
1. used to describe something that depends on or is expressed through specific vari
used to describe something that depends on or is expressed through specific variables or measurable limits that define how a system, process, or calculation works — for example, a parametric design changes its shape automatically when one measurement is adjusted.
Haruto used a parametric model to show how the building's energy use changed with window size.
parametric + model: system defined by adjustable variables
Dr. Okonkwo explained that parametric statistics work only when data follows a known pattern, like a bell curve.
parametric statistics: statistical methods that assume a known data distribution
The bridge uses a parametric design that updates all other measurements when one size changes.
Camila ran a parametric analysis that compared house prices across different interest-rate scenarios.
In a parametric test, the researcher must decide which variables are set as fixed limits before collecting data.
- variable-based
more informal and broader; 'parametric' implies mathematical precision
- mathematical
much wider in meaning; not all mathematical approaches are parametric
- conditional
focuses on 'depending on conditions' rather than on measurable variables
- non-parametric
standard opposite in statistics; refers to methods that do not assume a specific data distribution
- fixed
a fixed system has no variables to adjust, whereas a parametric one does
文法句型
parametric + noun
用法筆記
Most common in academic or technical writing about mathematics, statistics, engineering, and computer-aided design. The opposite term is non-parametric, used especially in statistics for methods that do not assume a specific data distribution. In everyday conversation, simpler phrases such as 'based on certain conditions' are preferred.
