Parametric family

In mathematics and its applications, a parametric family or a parameterized family is a family of objects (a set of related objects) whose differences depend only on the chosen values for a set of parameters.[1]

Common examples are parametrized (families of) functions, probability distributions, curves, shapes, etc.[citation needed]
