Definition of Projection

Projection
The use of econometric models to forecast the future performance of a company, country, or other financial entity using historical and current information.

Projection
quantitative estimate of future economic, sales or financial performance.

projection
<theory> In domain theory, a function, f, which is (a) idempotent, i.e. f(f(x))=f(x) and (b) whose result is no more defined than its argument. E.g. F(x)=bottom or F(x)=x.
In reduction systems, a function which returns some component of its argument. E.g. head, tail, \ (x,y) . x. In a graph reduction system the function can just return a pointer to part of its argument and does not need to build any new graph.

Projection
(n.)
The representation of something; delineation; plan; especially, the representation of any object on a perspective plane, or such a delineation as would result were the chief points of the object thrown forward upon the plane, each in the direction of a line drawn through it from a given point of sight, or central point; as, the projection of a sphere. The several kinds of projection differ according to the assumed point of sight and plane of projection in each.
  
(n.)
The act of throwing or shooting forward.
  
(n.)
The act of scheming or planning; also, that which is planned; contrivance; design; plan.
  
(n.)

Projection
A forecast or prediction of the future events in a fishery (in terms of stock size, landings, etc.) elaborated with the help of a more or less complex (mathematical) model believed to faithfully represent the mechanisms in a stock and a fishery. It is usually assumed that if the model can reproduce accurately the past events, it can to predict the future to some extent (assuming that the effect of all non-modeled parameters of the system, e.g. medium to long-term environment trends) will be negligible.

PROJECTION
1) Slides are used to project still archive images or textures. Libraries of slides contain images for every occasion. Kodak Carousel projectors are the industry standard, and some types can be linked to a controller to perform complex dissolves and fades from one projector to another. More powerful projectors are available using very intense discharge sources and large format glass slides to produce a massive image. 2) Lighting effects : Moving cloud / rain / fire effects can be achieved using a powerful lantern known as an effects projector with a motorised glass disc painted with the required effect. An objective lens is required in front of the disc to focus the image. See Effects. 3) Gobos : See Gobo. 4) Film : 35mm film projection is common in many theatres as a device for keeping the building open to the public when productions are in preparation. 16mm film projection is used in smaller venues. Film projection can, of course, also be integrated into a performance. 5) Video : Video projection is now being used to bring television pictures to the large screen. Cheaper than using film, but the image quality is not as good. Video projection equipment can also be more difficult to set up. Images can be front projected or back/rear projected depending on the amount of space and the effect required. For example, if actors are required to walk in front of the screen and not have the image appearing on them, back projection is the only answer. See Screen.
