  2. Power (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(statistics)

    An example of the relationship between sample size and power levels. Higher power requires larger sample sizes. Statistical power may depend on a number of factors. Some factors may be particular to a specific testing situation, but in normal use, power depends on the following three aspects that can be potentially controlled by the practitioner:

  3. Power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    The equivalence of power laws with a particular scaling exponent can have a deeper origin in the dynamical processes that generate the power-law relation. In physics, for example, phase transitions in thermodynamic systems are associated with the emergence of power-law distributions of certain quantities, whose exponents are referred to as the ...

  4. Power transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_transform

    In statistics, a power transform is a family of functions applied to create a monotonic transformation of data using power functions.It is a data transformation technique used to stabilize variance, make the data more normal distribution-like, improve the validity of measures of association (such as the Pearson correlation between variables), and for other data stabilization procedures.

  5. Statistical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_mechanics

    In physics, statistical mechanics is a mathematical framework that applies statistical methods and probability theory to large assemblies of microscopic entities. Sometimes called statistical physics or statistical thermodynamics, its applications include many problems in the fields of physics, biology, [1] chemistry, neuroscience, [2] computer science, [3] [4] information theory [5] and ...

  6. Power (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_(physics)

    Power is the rate with respect to time at which work is done; it is the time derivative of work: =, where P is power, W is work, and t is time.. We will now show that the mechanical power generated by a force F on a body moving at the velocity v can be expressed as the product: = =

  7. Orders of magnitude (power) - Wikipedia

    10 8: 1.04 × 10 8 W tech: power producing capacity of the Niagara Power Plant, the first electrical power plant in history 1.4 × 10 8 W tech: average power consumption of a Boeing 747 passenger aircraft 1.9 × 10 8 W tech: peak power output of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier: 5 × 10 8 W tech: typical power output of a fossil fuel power ...

  8. List of physics mnemonics - Wikipedia

    A Magic Triangle image mnemonic - when the terms of Ohm's law are arranged in this configuration, covering the unknown gives the formula in terms of the remaining parameters. It can be adapted to similar equations e.g. F = ma, v = fλ, E = mcΔT, V = π r 2 h and τ = rF sinθ.

  9. Microstate (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstate_(statistical...

    In statistical mechanics, a microstate is a specific configuration of a system that describes the precise positions and momenta of all the individual particles or components that make up the system. Each microstate has a certain probability of occurring during the course of the system's thermal fluctuations .
