3.6 Characteristics of decay functions

 

Linear, exponential, logarithmic, and triangular decay functions each have their own characteristics, as detailed in the table below:

S.N. Decay functions Characteristics Weight images
1 Linear Decay at a constant rate imagepng
2 Exponential Decay with decreasing rate imagepng
3 Logarithmic Decay with increasing rate imagepng
4 Triangular Decay with varying rates: slow → fast → slow imagepng
Note: In these images, the x-axis represents the distance from xi, and the y-axis represents the weight. For better visualization, k’ is set to 100.
