  2. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    A variometer that produces this type of audible tone is known as an "audio variometer". Advanced electronic variometers in gliders can present other information to the pilot from GPS receivers. The display can thus show the bearing, distance and height required to reach an objective.

  3. Econophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Econophysics

    Basic tools of econophysics are probabilistic and statistical methods often taken from statistical physics.. Physics models that have been applied in economics include the kinetic theory of gas (called the kinetic exchange models of markets [7]), percolation models, chaotic models developed to study cardiac arrest, and models with self-organizing criticality as well as other models developed ...

  4. Thermoeconomics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoeconomics

    Thermoeconomics can be thought of as the statistical physics of economic value [2] and is a subfield of econophysics. It is the study of the ways and means by which human societies procure and use energy and other biological and physical resources to produce, distribute, consume and exchange goods and services, while generating various types of ...

  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. Measurement in economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_in_economics

    The measurable variables in economics are quantity, quality and distribution. Measuring quantity in economics follows the rules of measuring in physics. Quality as a variable refers to qualitative changes in the production process. Qualitative changes take place when relative of different constant-price input and output factors alter.

  7. Measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement

    For example, two states of a property may be compared by ratio, difference, or ordinal preference. The type is commonly not explicitly expressed, but implicit in the definition of a measurement procedure. The magnitude is the numerical value of the characterization, usually obtained with a suitably chosen measuring instrument.

  8. Glossary of economics - Wikipedia

    Also called resource cost advantage. The ability of a party (whether an individual, firm, or country) to produce a greater quantity of a good, product, or service than competitors using the same amount of resources. absorption The total demand for all final marketed goods and services by all economic agents resident in an economy, regardless of the origin of the goods and services themselves ...

  9. Variogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variogram

    The variogram is the key function in geostatistics as it will be used to fit a model of the temporal/spatial correlation of the observed phenomenon. One is thus making a distinction between the experimental variogram that is a visualization of a possible spatial/temporal correlation and the variogram model that is further used to define the ...
