Parametric Function Fitting Task

A Parametric Function Fitting Task is a function fitting task with a parametric function that requires the use of a parametric function fitting algorithm.

• AKA: Parametric Regression.
• Context:
  • It can be solved by a Parametric Function Fitting System (that implements a Parametric Function Fitting Algorithm).
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • a Non-Parametric Function Fitting Task.
• See: Curve Fitting, Parametric Point Estimation.
