Everything about Parameter
Variable used for specification
A parameter, generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system. That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. Wikipedia →

📖 Definitions
Noun A value kept constant during an experiment, equation, calculation, or similar, but varied over other versions of the experiment, equation, calculation, etc.
Noun A variable that describes a property or characteristic of some system (material, object, event, etc.) or some aspect thereof.
Noun Any measured quantity of a statistical population that summarises or describes an aspect of the population.
Noun A variable of a model that is trained by a machine learning algorithm.
