  2. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    Its density is infinitely differentiable, indeed supersmooth of order 2. [23] Furthermore, the density of the standard normal distribution (i.e. = and =) also has the following properties: Its first derivative is ′ = ().

  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. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    A special type of area density is called column density (also columnar mass density or simply column density), denoted ρ A or σ. It is the mass of substance per unit area integrated along a path; [ 1 ] It is obtained integrating volumetric density ρ {\displaystyle \rho } over a column: [ 2 ] σ = ∫ ρ d s . {\displaystyle \sigma =\int \rho ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Radial distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distribution_function

    calculation of () Radial distribution function for the Lennard-Jones model fluid at =, =.. In statistical mechanics, the radial distribution function, (or pair correlation function) () in a system of particles (atoms, molecules, colloids, etc.), describes how density varies as a function of distance from a reference particle.

  7. Number density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_density

    The number density (symbol: n or ρ N) is an intensive quantity used to describe the degree of concentration of countable objects (particles, molecules, phonons, cells, galaxies, etc.) in physical space: three-dimensional volumetric number density, two-dimensional areal number density, or one-dimensional linear number density.

  8. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Specifically, if the mass-density at time t=0 is given by a Dirac delta, which essentially means that the mass is initially concentrated in a single point, then the mass-distribution at time t will be given by a Gaussian function, with the parameter a being linearly related to 1/ √ t and c being linearly related to √ t; this time-varying ...

  9. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    Consider a long, thin rod of mass and length .To calculate the average linear mass density, ¯, of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total mass, , by the total length, : ¯ = If we describe the rod as having a varying mass (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the rod, ), we can write: = Each infinitesimal unit of mass, , is equal to the product of ...
