  2. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    In that case the density around any given location is determined by calculating the density of a small volume around that location. In the limit of an infinitesimal volume the density of an inhomogeneous object at a point becomes: ρ ( r → ) = d m / d V {\displaystyle \rho ({\vec {r}})=dm/dV} , where d V {\displaystyle dV} is an elementary ...

  3. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    Area density can be calculated as: = or =, where ρ A is the average area density, m is the total mass of the object, A is the total area of the object, ρ is the average density, and l is the average thickness of the object.

  4. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    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 ...

  5. Density of air - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_of_air

    The density of air or atmospheric density, denoted ρ, [1] is the mass per unit volume of Earth's atmosphere. Air density, like air pressure, decreases with increasing altitude. It also changes with variations in atmospheric pressure, temperature and humidity.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Radial distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_distribution_function

    If a given particle is taken to be at the origin O, and if = / is the average number density of particles, then the local time-averaged density at a distance from O is (). This simplified definition holds for a homogeneous and isotropic system. A more general case will be considered below.

  8. 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.

  9. Charge carrier density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_carrier_density

    Charge carrier density, also known as carrier concentration, denotes the number of charge carriers per volume. In SI units, it is measured in m −3. As with any density, in principle it can depend on position. However, usually carrier concentration is given as a single number, and represents the average carrier density over the whole material.
