adaptive process The process of performing computations on a set of measured or presented data (believed to be) from a physical, i.e. natural, source in such a way as to develop a “best” parametric model of that physical source, i.e. one that best fits the observed data according to some error criterion. See also adaptive-control system, self-organizing system.
