statistical weight factor
1Statistical weight — In statistical mechanics, the statistical weight is the relative probability (possibly unnormalized) of a particular feature of a state. If the energy associated with the feature is ΔE, the statistical weight is given by the Boltzmann factor e… …
2Factor analysis — is a statistical method used to describe variability among observed, correlated variables in terms of a potentially lower number of unobserved, uncorrelated variables called factors. In other words, it is possible, for example, that variations in …
3Factor of safety — See also: safety factor (plasma physics) Factor of safety (FoS), also known as safety factor (SF), is a term describing the structural capacity of a system beyond the expected loads or actual loads. Essentially, how much stronger the system is… …
4Statistical benchmarking — In statistics, benchmarking is a method of using auxiliary information to adjust the sampling weights used in an estimation process, in order to yield more accurate estimates of totals.Suppose we have a population where each unit k has a value… …
5Path integral formulation — This article is about a formulation of quantum mechanics. For integrals along a path, also known as line or contour integrals, see line integral. The path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is a description of quantum theory which… …
6Canonical ensemble — A canonical ensemble in statistical mechanics is a statistical ensemble representing a probability distribution of microscopic states of the system. The probability distribution is characterised by the proportion pi of members of the ensemble… …

8Random coil — A random coil is a polymer conformation where the monomer subunits are oriented randomly while still being bonded to adjacent units. It is not one specific shape, but a statistical distribution of shapes for all the chains in a population of… …
9Monte Carlo methods for electron transport — The Monte Carlo method for electron transport is a semiclassical Monte Carlo(MC) approach of modeling semiconductor transport. Assuming the carrier motion consists of free flights interrupted by scattering mechanisms, a computer is utilized to… …
10Rietveld refinement — is a technique devised by Hugo Rietveld for use in the characterisation of crystalline materials. The neutron and x ray diffraction of powder samples results in a pattern characterised by peaks in intensity at certain positions. The height, width …
