1. An assembly or meeting with all members present.

A statistical measure of the variance of two random variables that are observed or measured in the same mean time period. This measure is equal to the product of the deviations of corresponding values of the two variables from their respective means.

In probability theory and statistics, covariance is a measure of how much two variables change together (variance is a special case of the covariance when the two variables are identical).

If two variables tend to vary together (that is, when one of them is above its expected value, then the other variable tends to be above its expected value too), then the covariance between the two variables will be positive. On the other hand, when one of them is above its expected value the other variable tends to be below its expected value, then the covariance between the two variables will be negative.

1. Anatomically located far from a point of reference, such as an origin or a point of attachment.
2. Situated farthest from the middle and front of the jaw, as a tooth or tooth surface.

1 Nearest; proximate.
2 Anatomy. Nearer to a point of reference such as an origin, a point of attachment, or the midline of the body

Psychophysics is a subdiscipline of psychology dealing with the relationship between physical stimuli and their subjective correlates, or percepts. Psychophysics has been described variously as “the scientific study of the relation between stimulus and sensation”[1] or, more completely, as “the analysis of perceptual processes by studying the effect on a subject’s experience or behaviour of systematically varying the properties of a stimulus along one or more physical dimensions.”[2] It is a general-purpose theory that can be applied to any sensory system. The techniques of “classical” psychophysics are still widely used, although the theoretical background is heavily influenced by Signal detection theory.[3]
