from signal processing, where signals of very small amplitude cannot be
|
||
separated from low-intensity noise in the system. Though popular among
|
||
hackers, it is not confined to hackerdom; physicists, engineers,
|

astronomers, and statisticians all use it.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="lossy.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../L.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="lost-in-the-underflow.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">lossy </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> lost in the underflow</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
