  2. Radial distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distribution_function

    The radial distribution function is an important measure because several key thermodynamic properties, such as potential energy and pressure can be calculated from it. For a 3-D system where particles interact via pairwise potentials, the potential energy of the system can be calculated as follows: [ 6 ]

  3. Rayleigh distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_distribution

    The distribution is named after Lord Rayleigh (/ ˈ r eɪ l i /). [1] A Rayleigh distribution is often observed when the overall magnitude of a vector in the plane is related to its directional components. One example where the Rayleigh distribution naturally arises is when wind velocity is analyzed in two dimensions.

  4. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_normal_table

    Example: To find 0.69, one would look down the rows to find 0.6 and then across the columns to 0.09 which would yield a probability of 0.25490 for a cumulative from mean table or 0.75490 from a cumulative table. To find a negative value such as -0.83, one could use a cumulative table for negative z-values [3] which yield a probability of 0.20327.

  5. Correlation function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_function...

    The Radial distribution function is an example of an equal-time correlation function where the uncorrelated reference is generally not subtracted. Other equal-time spin-spin correlation functions are shown on this page for a variety of materials and conditions.

  6. Percus–Yevick approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percus–Yevick_approximation

    Approximate solutions for the pair distribution function in the extensional and compressional sectors of shear flow and hence the angular-averaged radial distribution function can be obtained, as shown in Ref., [6] which are in good parameter-free agreement with numerical data up to packing fractions .

  7. Projected normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected_normal_distribution

    In directional statistics, the projected normal distribution (also known as offset normal distribution, angular normal distribution or angular Gaussian distribution) [1] [2] is a probability distribution over directions that describes the radial projection of a random variable with n-variate normal distribution over the unit (n-1)-sphere.

  8. Moment of inertia factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia_factor

    Saturn has the lowest value among the gas giants in part because it has the lowest bulk density (0.687 g/cm 3). [6] Ganymede has the lowest moment of inertia factor among solid bodies in the Solar System because of its fully differentiated interior, [ 7 ] [ 8 ] a result in part of tidal heating due to the Laplace resonance , [ 9 ] as well as ...

  9. Potential of mean force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_of_mean_force

    Lemkul et al. have used steered molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the potential of mean force to assess the stability of Alzheimer's amyloid protofibrils. [6] Gosai et al. have also used umbrella sampling simulations to show that potential of mean force decreases between thrombin and its aptamer (a protein-ligand complex) under the ...
