Some examples of the sources of vibration that cannot be altered are earthquake excitation‚ atmospheric turbulence‚ road roughness‚ and engine combustion instability. On the other hand‚ certain sources such as unbalance in rotating or reciprocating machines can be altered to reduce the vibrations. This can

Generalization is the ability of a machine learning algorithm to perform accurately on new‚ unseen examples after training on a finite data set. The core objective of a learner is to generalize from its experience.[2] The training examples from its experience come from some generally unknown probability distribution and the learner has to extract from them something more general‚ something about that distribution‚ that allows it to produce useful answers in new cases.
