Shapes.hermi.2.var -
If this variable follows standard object-oriented or data-frame naming conventions (common in languages like R or S-Plus), it can be broken down as follows:
If this is part of a specific proprietary script or a niche academic package (such as those used in paleoanthropology or cardiology), it likely serves as the in a shape-space model. Shapes.Hermi.2.var
The variance associated with the second Hermite polynomial in a density estimation. Shapes.Hermi.2.var
: This stands for Variance or Variable . It represents the specific statistical value—likely the computed variance of the shape descriptors across a sample set. 3. Application in Shape Analysis Shapes.Hermi.2.var
: In statistics, these are used in Gram-Charlier series to describe probability density functions that "deviate" from a normal distribution. 2. Deconstructing the Variable Syntax
The term "Hermi" almost certainly refers to , a mathematical concept used to describe shapes through interpolation or probability distributions.
