  2. Relative change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_change

    The terms "Experimental" and "Theoretical" used in the equation above are commonly replaced with similar terms. Other terms used for experimental could be "measured," "calculated," or "actual" and another term used for theoretical could be "accepted." Experimental value is what has been derived by use of calculation and/or measurement and is ...

  3. Theoretical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_physics

    Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain, and predict natural phenomena. This is in contrast to experimental physics , which uses experimental tools to probe these phenomena.

  4. Transition state theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transition_state_theory

    Lewis applied his treatment to the following reaction and obtained good agreement with experimental result. 2 HI → H 2 + I 2. However, later when the same treatment was applied to other reactions, there were large discrepancies between theoretical and experimental results.

  5. Difference in differences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_in_differences

    Difference in differences (DID [1] or DD [2]) is a statistical technique used in econometrics and quantitative research in the social sciences that attempts to mimic an experimental research design using observational study data, by studying the differential effect of a treatment on a 'treatment group' versus a 'control group' in a natural experiment. [3]

  6. Variogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variogram

    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 weights of the kriging function. Note that the experimental variogram is an empirical estimate of the covariance of a Gaussian process.

  7. Experimental physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_physics

    Experimental physics is the category of disciplines and sub-disciplines in the field of physics that are concerned with the observation of physical phenomena and experiments. Methods vary from discipline to discipline, from simple experiments and observations, such as Galileo's experiments , to more complicated ones, such as the Large Hadron ...

  8. Isotopic shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopic_shift

    This difference induces a change in the electric charge distribution of the nucleus. The phenomenon was described theoretically by Pauli and Peierls. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Adopting a simplified picture, the change in an energy level resulting from the volume difference is proportional to the change in total electron probability density at the ...

  9. Empirical relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_relationship

    Sometimes theoretical explanations for what were initially empirical relationships are found, in which case the relationships are no longer considered empirical. An example was the Rydberg formula to predict the wavelengths of hydrogen spectral lines .
