Gibbs sampling — In statistics and in statistical physics, Gibbs sampling or a Gibbs sampler is an algorithm to generate a sequence of samples from the joint probability distribution of two or more random variables. The purpose of such a sequence is to… … Wikipedia
Analog-to-digital converter — An analog to digital converter (abbreviated ADC, A/D or A to D) is an electronic integrated circuit, which converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. The reverse operation is performed by a digital to analog converter… … Wikipedia
Sample rate conversion — is the process of converting a (usually digital) signal from one sampling rate to another, while changing the information carried by the signal as little as possible. When applied to an image, this process is sometimes called image scaling.Sample … Wikipedia
