0 a set of facts or a fixed limit that establishes or limits how something can or must happen or be done:
The researchers must keep within the parameters of the experiment.
The central office sets/establishes the parameters that guide policy at the local level.
1 a fixed limit that establishes how something should be done:
2 a set of facts which describes and puts limits on how something should happen or be done:
The report defines the parameters of best practice at a strategic, operational, and process level within an organization.
within the parameters of sth We must work within the parameters of the law.
parameters for/around sth The parameters for establishing the fund are vague.
broad/clear/general paramaters Policies create clear parameters and make it easier to manage everyday business life.
define/establish/set parameters It is important to set paramaters for working hours that are reasonably flexible.
performance/price/risk parameters The company has been asked to explain the performance parameters of their scheme.
financial/investment parameters The new investment parameters of the investment fund will allow investors to rebalance their portfolios.
We observe the convergence in all parameter estimates.
In reality, however, central banks and researchers do not know the parameters of their models or the exogenous disturbances with certainty.
The next set of parameters is related to the existence of market power.
It is a comparison between parameter combinations for a constant average copy number.
The results are less secure since the number of data are equal to the number of parameters.
At one level of organic matter, the parameters of the production function are significantly different from at the other level.
In this system, types are first-order terms, type variables inside types, like in l ist(), express type parameters.
This model was used to analyze the raw data and estimate the parameters shown above directly from the data.
