51Partition function (statistical mechanics) — For other uses, see Partition function (disambiguation). Partition function describe the statistical properties of a system in thermodynamic equilibrium. It is a function of temperature and other parameters, such as the volume enclosing a gas.… …
52Leaf angle distribution — The Leaf Angle Distribution (or LAD) of a plant canopy refers to the mathematical description of the angular orientation of the leaves in the vegetation. Specifically, if each leaf is conceptually represented by a small flat plate, its… …
53Fisher's z-distribution — is the statistical distribution of half the logarithm of an F distribution variate:z = frac{1}{2} log F It was first described by Ronald Fisher in a paper delivered at the International Mathematical Congress of 1924 in Toronto, entitled On a… …
54Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution law — ▪ chemistry a description of the statistical distribution of the energies of the molecules of a classical gas. This distribution was first set forth by the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell in 1859, on the basis of probabilistic… …
55Poisson Distribution — A statistical distribution showing the frequency probability of specific events when the average probability of a single occurrence is known. The Poisson distribution is a discrete function. For example, if the average number of people that rent… …

60Log-Normal Distribution — A statistical distribution of random variables which have a normally distributed logarithm. Log normal distributions can model a random variable X where log(X) is normally distributed. These distributions, under multiplication and division, are… …
