| mixed discrete-continuous random variable | <statistics> A random variable that may assume some values with probabilities and others with probability densities. For example, in a 35-year-old man with familial polyposis of the colon, the distribution of time until malignant disease occurs consists of a probability that he already has cancer (which would be assigned the waiting time 0), a probability density of developing it in the future and a probability that he will die of some other cause before he develops cancer.

| discrete | 1. Separate; distinct; disjunct. 2. Disjunctive; containing a disjunctive or discretive clause; as, "I resign my life, but not my honor," is a discrete proposition. 3. <botany> Separate; not coalescent; said of things usually coalescent. Discrete movement. See Concrete movement of the voice, under Concrete, Discrete proportion, proportion where the ratio of the means is different from that of either couplet; as, 3:6::8:16, 3 bearing the same proportion to 6 as 8 does to 16. But 3 is not to 6 as 6 to 8. It is thus opposed to continued or continual proportion; as, 3:6::12:24. Discrete quantity, that which must be divided into units, as number, and is opposed to continued quantity, as duration, or extension. Origin: L. Discretus, p. P. Of discernere. See Discreet.

| discrete character | Classifiable character that is also countable (e.g., number of progeny, number of teeth). Synonym: discrete character. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrete random variable | A random variable that may assume a countable number of values, each with a probability strictly greater than zero. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrete smallpox | The usual form in which the lesions are separate and distinct from each other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| discrete time model | <epidemiology> A model in which the system jumps from one state to the next at fixed intervals or timesteps. These difference models are simple to understand but often difficult to analyse; Contrast continuous time models. The parameters in such a model refer to the amount of change over the finite timestep; they are sometimes referred to as finite rates. In a (rather precise) sense, a differential equation is what you eventually get from a difference equation when you let the timestep get smaller and smaller and smaller. (05 Dec 1998) |
| discrete variable | A variable that may assume only a countable (usually finite) number of values. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activity | 1. The state of being active, the ability to produce some effect, the extent of some function or action. 2. <chemistry> A thermodynamic quantity that represents the effective concentration of a solute in a nonideal solution, if concentrations are replaced by activities, the equations for equilibrium constants, electrode potentials, osmotic pressure, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression and vapour pressures of volatile solutes are converted from approximations that hold only for dilute solutions to exact equations that hold for all concentrations. The activity is equal to the product of the concentration and the activity coefficient, a dimensionless number measuring deviation from nonideality. Symbol a. The potential or true thermodynamic activity of a substance, as opposed to its molar concentration. 3. <radiobiology> The number of nuclear transitions or disintegrations occurring in a given quantity of radioactive material per unit time. The SI unit of activity is s-1. The special name for the unit of activity is becquerel (Bq). The previously used special unit of activity, curie (Ci), is being replaced by the becquerel. 1 Bq = 2.7 x E-11 Ci. 1 Ci = 3.7 x E10 Bq. 4. Optical activity. (16 Dec 1997) |
| activity coefficient | <chemistry> The factor by which the value of a concentration of a solute must be multiplied to determine its true thermodynamic activity. (06 May 1997) |
| activity cycles | Bouts of physical irritability or movement alternating with periods of quiescence. It includes biochemical activity and hormonal activity which may be cellular. These cycles are shorter than 24 hours and include sleep-wakefulness cycles and the periodic activation of the digestive system. (12 Dec 1998) |
| activity, drug | A measure of the physiological response a drug produces in the body. A less active drug produces less response (and visa versa). (12 Dec 1998) |
| blocking activity | The repression or elimination of electrical activity in the brain by the arrival of a sensory stimulus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blood bactericidal activity | Native bactericidal property of blood due to normally occurring antibacterial substances such as beta lysin, leukin, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| melanoma growth stimulatory activity | Cytokine of the C X C subfamily. Potent mitogen. Activates and is chemotactic for, neutrophils. (18 Nov 1997) |
| water activity | <chemistry> An expression of the relative availability of water in a substance. Pure water has an water activity of 1.000. The water activity of a solution is one-hundredth its relative humidity. (09 Oct 1997) |
| discrete activity |
pathologically reduced electrical activity on a recording from a muscle during maximal voluntary contractions, so that the normal interference pattern (qv) is lacking and several discrete motor unit action potentials can be identified.
