  2. Density of states - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_states

    The density of states plays an important role in the kinetic theory of solids. The product of the density of states and the probability distribution function is the number of occupied states per unit volume at a given energy for a system in thermal equilibrium. This value is widely used to investigate various physical properties of matter.

  3. Probability density function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function

    In probability theory, a probability density function (PDF), density function, or density of an absolutely continuous random variable, is a function whose value at any given sample (or point) in the sample space (the set of possible values taken by the random variable) can be interpreted as providing a relative likelihood that the value of the ...

  4. Master equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_equation

    Though the Lindblad equation is often referred to as a master equation, it is not one in the usual sense, as it governs not only the time evolution of probabilities (diagonal elements of the density matrix), but also of variables containing information about quantum coherence between the states of the system (non-diagonal elements of the ...

  5. Density matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_matrix

    In quantum mechanics, a density matrix (or density operator) is a matrix that describes an ensemble [1] of physical systems as quantum states (even if the ensemble contains only one system). It allows for the calculation of the probabilities of the outcomes of any measurements performed upon the systems of the ensemble using the Born rule .

  6. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Forms of matter that are not composed of molecules and are organized by different forces can also be considered different states of matter. Superfluids (like Fermionic condensate) and the quark–gluon plasma are examples. In a chemical equation, the state of matter of the chemicals may be shown as (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, and (g) for gas.

  7. Coarse-grained modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coarse-grained_modeling

    Now suppose we define a probability density (,,) describing the motion of the point , with phase space element . In the case of equilibrium or steady motion the equation of continuity implies that the probability density ρ {\displaystyle \rho } is independent of time t {\displaystyle t} .

  8. Convolution of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution_of_probability...

    The probability distribution of the sum of two or more independent random variables is the convolution of their individual distributions. The term is motivated by the fact that the probability mass function or probability density function of a sum of independent random variables is the convolution of their corresponding probability mass functions or probability density functions respectively.

  9. Density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_Estimation

    The density estimates are kernel density estimates using a Gaussian kernel. That is, a Gaussian density function is placed at each data point, and the sum of the density functions is computed over the range of the data. From the density of "glu" conditional on diabetes, we can obtain the probability of diabetes conditional on "glu" via Bayes ...
