 Scheme for model adaptation in pattern recognition based on Taylor expansion - Patent 6026359
Then, the probabilistic models are adapted by obtaining a model parameter after a condition change by updating a model parameter before a condition change according to the determined change, when the initial condition and the current condition are mismatching.
The adaptation processing uses a Taylor expansion expressing a change in the model parameter in terms of a change in the parameter expressing the condition.
The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the units (a), (b) and (c) carry out a preliminary processing realized by the units (a), (b) and (c) in advance, prior to an adaptation processing realized by the units (d) and (e) which is carried out at a time of actual recognition.

 Taylor expansion of lambda-terms
Simple terms are particular differential terms that resemble lambda-terms (see the syntax rules); they are built from variables using lambda-abstraction and bunch application, that is application of a simple term to a bunch where a bunch may be viewed as a (commutative) product of simple terms.
As in lambda-calculus the bunch application is linear in the function but also (and this is the difference with lambda-calculus) in each factor appearing in the argument bunch.

  Taylor biography
Taylor was brought up in a household where his father ruled as a strict disciplinarian, yet he was a man of culture with interests in painting and music.
Taylor initially derived the version which occurs as Proposition 11 as a generalisation of Halley's method of approximating roots of the Kepler equation, but soon discovered that it was a consequence of the Bernoulli series.
Taylor, in his studies of vibrating strings was not attempting to establish equations of motion, but was considering the oscillation of a flexible string in terms of the isochrony of the pendulum.

 Taylor   (Site not responding. Last check: )
In 1708 Taylor produced a solution to the problem of the centre of oscillation which, since it went unpublished until 1714, resulted in a priority dispute with Johann Bernoulli.
Taylor gives an account of an experiment to discover the law of magnetic attraction (1715) and an improved method for approximating the roots of an equation by giving a new method for computing logarithms (1717).
Taylor was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712 and was appointed in that year to the committee for adjudicating the claims of Newton and of Leibniz to have invented the calculus.

Some work done by Taylor in the theory of perspectiove has found a modern application in the mathematical treatment of photogrammetry, the science of surveying by means of photographs taken from an airplane.

 Taylor series Summary
A series expansion is a representation of a function as a sum of powers in one of its variables or a sum of powers of another function.
The Taylor series, power series, and infinite series expansions of functions were first discovered in India by Madhava in the 14th century.
He found a number of special cases of the Taylor series, including the Taylor series for the trigonometric functions of sine, cosine, tangent and arctangent, and the second-order Taylor series approximations of the sine and cosine functions, which he extended to the third-order Taylor series approximation of the sine function.

 taylor.html
The order of the arguments is crucial -- first is the expression whose Taylor polynomial is to be found, second is the variable and value around which the expansion is to be taken, and third is one plus the degree.
While this is useful information, often we compute Taylor polynomials with the intention of using them as polynomials for some other purpose (i.e., substituing values for the variable, integrating, etc..).
Taylor expansions of functions may only be performed about points where the functions are continuous and differentiable (a sufficient number of times).

 Taylor expansions
Taylor's theorem with remainder (in the second version stated above) is a generalization of the mean value theorem; also, the mean value theorem is used in its proof.
The reason is that Stewart's approach to Taylor expansions (like that of many calculus textbooks) starts from the general theory of convergent infinite series, which we have not yet studied.
As a final application of Taylor expansion, we shall derive the formulas for the maximum error in the familiar rules for numerical integration.

 Series
For instance in the case, f(x)= 1/x the function is not defined at x=0, and therefore the series expansion fails to reproduce the behaviour of the function in that limit.
This example shows that the series expansion of the function is valid only in the region about the point chosen for the expansion.
Series expansions are just polynomial functions, therefore one should take this into account when fitting data to this type of functionality.

 Theory of the Taylor Expansion   (Site not responding. Last check: )

In this case the restoring force arising from the resolution of the vertical force of gravity and the tension in the string is proportional to the
Taylor series are most useful when it is possible to stop the infinite sum at some point and use only the first few terms of the series.

taylor is not able to determine whether the corresponding Taylor series exists or not.
Mathematically, the expansion computed by taylor is valid in some open disc around the expansion point in the complex plane.
The number of terms is counted from the lowest degree term on for finite expansion points, and from the highest degree term on for expansions around infinity, i.e., “order” has to be regarded as a “relative truncation order”.

 2 How to use it
Expansion order is not so important, different order usually means that one of them is truncated before doing the operation.
There are some provisions made to detect singularities during expansion: poles that arise because the denominator has zeros at the expansion point are detected and properly treated, i.e.
  It is possible to revert a Taylor series of a function f, i.e., to compute the first terms of the expansion of the inverse of f from the expansion of f.
