  2. Fugacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugacity

    The fugacity of a condensed phase (liquid or solid) is defined the same way as for a gas: = ⁡ and = It is difficult to measure fugacity in a condensed phase directly; but if the condensed phase is saturated (in equilibrium with the vapor phase), the chemical potentials of the two phases are equal (μ c = μ g).

  3. Fisher's exact test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher's_exact_test

    So in Fisher's original example, one criterion of classification could be whether milk or tea was put in the cup first; the other could be whether Bristol thinks that the milk or tea was put in first. We want to know whether these two classifications are associated—that is, whether Bristol really can tell whether milk or tea was poured in first.

  4. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    To make this into an equal-sided formula or equation, there needed to be a multiplying factor or constant that would give the correct force of gravity no matter the value of the masses or distance between them (the gravitational constant). Newton would need an accurate measure of this constant to prove his inverse-square law.

  5. Ray transfer matrix analysis - Wikipedia

    Multiple prism beam expander using r prisms ( M B 0 1 M ) {\displaystyle {\begin{pmatrix}M&B\\0&{\frac {1}{M}}\end{pmatrix}}} M is the total beam magnification given by M = k 1 k 2 k 3 ··· k r , where k is defined in the previous entry and B is the total optical propagation distance [ clarification needed ] of the multiple prism expander.

  6. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth’s gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth’s gravitational field of strength g.

  7. Correlation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation

    A correlation matrix appears, for example, in one formula for the coefficient of multiple determination, a measure of goodness of fit in multiple regression. In statistical modelling , correlation matrices representing the relationships between variables are categorized into different correlation structures, which are distinguished by factors ...

  8. Bonferroni correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonferroni_correction

    For example, a physicist might be looking to discover a particle of unknown mass by considering a large range of masses; this was the case during the Nobel Prize winning detection of the Higgs boson. In such cases, one can apply a continuous generalization of the Bonferroni correction by employing Bayesian logic to relate the effective number ...

  9. Pólya enumeration theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pólya_enumeration_theorem

    The Polya enumeration theorem translates the recursive structure of rooted ternary trees into a functional equation for the generating function F(t) of rooted ternary trees by number of nodes. This is achieved by "coloring" the three children with rooted ternary trees, weighted by node number, so that the color generating function is given by f ...
