| Recursive Function |
This type of function defines the value of an output in terms of prior outputs. It refers back. |
| First Differences |
Found by subtracting consecutive terms in a sequence. If these are all equal, the sequence has a linear model. |
| Second Differences |
Are found by subtracting consecutive first differences. If these are all equal, the sequence has a quadratic model. |
| Compound or Piece-wise Defined Function |
A function that has different rules that apply for different types of inputs. |
