Concept
A particle filter is a recursive Bayesian estimation algorithm used for estimating the state of a system that evolves over time and is partially observed. It approximates the posterior distribution of the state space using a set of particles, which are updated and resampled as new observations are made, making it particularly useful for non-linear and non-Gaussian processes.
Concept
Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) is the voltage measured across the terminals of a device when no external load is connected, meaning no current is flowing. It represents the maximum potential difference available from the source and is crucial for understanding the state of charge in batteries and the potential efficiency of photovoltaic cells.
Concept
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable computers to improve their performance on a task through experience. It leverages data to train models that can make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for specific tasks.
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful analytical technique used to study the electrical properties of materials and interfaces, providing insights into reaction mechanisms, diffusion processes, and material properties. By applying a small AC voltage and measuring the resulting current, EIS can reveal detailed information about the kinetics and dynamics of electrochemical systems over a wide range of frequencies.
