Inverse distance weighting Inverse distance weighting (IDW) is a simple method for curve fitting, a process of assigning values to unknown points by using values from known points. A simple IDW weighting function, defined by Shepard (1968), is:
Inverse dynamics Inverse dynamics uses link-segment models to represent the mechanical behavior of connected pendulums, or more concretely, the limbs of humans or animals, where given the kinematic representation of movement, inverse dynamics derives the kinetics responsible for that movement. In practice, from observations of the motion (of limbs), inverse dynamics is used to compute the associated moments (joint torques) that lead to that movement, under a special set of assumptions.
Inverse Doppler effect While the usual Doppler effect means that the frequency increases if the observer approaches the source - and decreases as they move away from each other - the theorists have speculated, since 1943, about the possibility that these rules may be interchanged. That would create an inverse Doppler effect.
Inverse element In mathematics, the idea of inverse element generalises the concepts of negation, in relation to addition, and reciprocal, in relation to multiplication. The intuition is of an element that can 'undo' the effect of combination with another given element.
Inverse function In mathematics, an inverse function is in simple terms a function which "does the reverse" of a given function. More formally, if f is a function with domain X, then f −1 is its inverse function if and only if for every x in X we have:
Inverse function theorem In mathematics, the inverse function theorem gives sufficient conditions for a vector-valued function to be invertible on an open region containing a point in its domain. The theorem can be generalized to maps defined on manifolds, and on infinite dimensional Banach spaces.
Inverse functions and differentiation In mathematics, the inverse of a function y = f(x) is a function that, in some fashion, "undoes" the effect of f (see inverse function for a formal and detailed definition). The inverse of f is denoted f^{-1}.

Inverse hyperbolic function The inverses of the hyperbolic functions are the area hyperbolic functions. The names hint at the fact that they compute the area of a sector of the unit hyperbola x^{2} - y^{2} = 1 in the same way the inverse trigonometric functions compute the arclength of a sector on the unit circle x^{2} + y^{2} = 1.
Inverse kinematic animation Inverse kinematic animation (IKA) refers to a process utilized in 3D computer graphic animation, to calculate the required articulation of a series of limbs or joints, such that the end of the limb ends up in a particular location. In contrast to forward kinematic animation, where each movement for each component must be planned, only the starting and ending locations of the limb are necessary.
Inverse kinematics Inverse kinematics is the process of determining the parameters of a jointed flexible object in order to achieve a desired pose. For example, with a 3D model of a human body, what are the required wrist and elbow angles to move the hand from a resting position to a waving position?
Inverse limit In mathematics, the inverse limit (also called the projective limit) is a construction which allows one to "glue together" several related objects, the precise manner of the gluing process being specified by morphisms between the objects. Inverse limits can be defined in any category, but we will initially only consider inverse limits of groups.
Inverse multiplexer An inverse multiplexer (often abbreviated to "inverse mux" or "imux") allows a data stream to be broken into multiple lower data rate communications links. An inverse multiplexer differs from a demultiplexer in that each of the low rate links coming from it is related to the other ones and they all work together to carry the same data.
Inverse Multiplexing for ATM IMA (Inverse Multiplexing for ATM) is technology used to transport ATM traffic over a bundle of T1 or E1 cables, also knows as IMA Group. This allows for gradual increase in line capacity, where implementing high-capacity solution (e.
Inverse parser An inverse parser, as its name suggests, is a parser that works in reverse. Rather than the user typing to the computer, the computer presents a list of words fitting the context, and excluding words that would be unreasonable.
Inverse photoemission Inverse photoemission is a surface science technique used to study the unoccupied electronic structure of surfaces, thin films and adsorbates. As inverse photoemission probes the electronic states above the Fermi energy of the system, it is a complementary technique to photoemission spectroscopy.
Inverse photoemission spectroscopy Inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) is spectroscopy that measures the energy of photons (hnu) emitted when electrons incident on a substance using an electron beam with a constant energy (E_i) relax to a lower energy unoccupied state (E_f). In this process, the energy conservation law is given by:
Inverse polymerase chain reaction Inverse polymerase chain reaction is a variant of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) when only one internal sequence is known. This is especially useful in identifying flanking sequences to various genomic inserts.
Inverse probability In probability theory, inverse probability is an obsolete term for the probability distribution of an unobserved variable. Given a probability distribution p(x|θ) for an observable quantity x conditional on an unobserved variable θ, the "inverse probability" is the posterior distribution p(θ|x).
Inverse quadratic interpolation In numerical analysis, inverse quadratic interpolation is a root-finding algorithm, meaning that it is an algorithm for solving equations of the form f(x) = 0. The idea is to use quadratic interpolation to approximate the inverse of f.
Inverse relationship A inverse or negative relationship is a mathematical relationship in which one variable decreases as another increases. For example, there is an inverse relationship between education and unemployment — that is, as public education increases, the rate of unemployment decreases.
Inverse scattering problem In physics, in the area of scattering theory, the inverse scattering problem is the problem of determining the characteristics of an object (its shape, internal constitution, etc.) from measurement data of radiation or particles scattered from the object.
Inverse scattering transform In mathematics, the inverse scattering transform is a procedure for integrating certain nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) by first converting them into a system of linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The basic idea is not unlike the Laplace transform.
Inverse search Inverse search is a feature of some non-interactive typesetting programs, such as LaTeX and GNU LilyPond. These programs read an abstract, textual, definition of a document as input, and converts this into a graphical format such as DVI or PDF.
Inverse transform sampling Inverse transform sampling is a method of sampling a number at random from any probability distribution given its cumulative distribution function (cdf). This method is generally applicable, but may be too computationally expensive in practice for some probability distributions.
Inverse-Wishart distribution In statistics, the Inverse Wishart distribution, also the inverse Wishart distribution and inverted Wishart distribution is a probability density function defined on matrices. It is conjugate to the Wishart distribution.
