parametrization

Defining control variables

Parametrization is the process of expressing something in terms of parameters—variables that define or control a system.

In mathematics, you might describe a curve through parametrization, expressing its coordinates as functions of a single variable.

In computing and statistics, parametrization determines which adjustable values a model or function will use: The parametrization of the neural network affects its performance.
