  2. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  3. Auxetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auxetics

    Auxetic metamaterials are a type of metamaterial with a negative Poisson's ratio, so that axial elongation causes transversal elongation (in contrast to an ordinary material, where stretching in one direction causes compression in the other direction). Auxetics can be single molecules, crystals, or a particular structure of macroscopic matter ...

    Conversely, if the "integrated" Poisson's ratio is constant, which is what you are talking about, then the incremental Poisson's ratio must vary with the amount of deformation. Only when the deformations are very small with respect to the dimensions of the unstressed test object do the two become very nearly the same.

  7. Mixed Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_Poisson_distribution

    A mixed Poisson distribution is a univariate discrete probability distribution in stochastics. It results from assuming that the conditional distribution of a random variable, given the value of the rate parameter, is a Poisson distribution , and that the rate parameter itself is considered as a random variable.

  8. Poisson regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_regression

    A Poisson regression model is sometimes known as a log-linear model, especially when used to model contingency tables. Negative binomial regression is a popular generalization of Poisson regression because it loosens the highly restrictive assumption that the variance is equal to the mean made by the Poisson model. The traditional negative ...

    Knight says perception of Muslim world among non-Muslims is usually supported through introductory literature about Islam, mostly present a version as per scriptural view which would include some prescriptive literature and abstracts of history as per authors own point of views, to which even many Muslims might agree, but that necessarily would ...
