Three-vector correlation in statistical reactions: the role of the triatomic parity.
Summary of "Three-vector correlation in statistical reactions: the role of the triatomic parity."
This article presents a methodology for the determination of the k-j-k' three-vector correlation assuming a statistical model for atom-diatom reactions; k and k' are the reagent-approach and product-recoil directions, respectively, and j is the rotational angular momentum of the reagent diatomic. Although the polarization of reagent angular momentum is in most cases negligible, conservation of the triatomic parity imposes a certain polarization for some combinations involving low reagent and product rotational states. Statistical and quantum-mechanical polarization-dependent differential cross sections were calculated for the barrierless D(+) + H(2)(v = 0,j) → HD(v' = 0,j') + H(+) reaction. The agreement between the two is in most cases excellent, confirming the statistical character of the reaction at low and moderate collision energies.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Statistics, Nonparametric
A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1284; Corsini, Concise Encyclopedia of Psychology, 1987, p764-5)
Neuropsychology
A branch of psychology which investigates the correlation between experience or behavior and the basic neurophysiological processes. The term neuropsychology stresses the dominant role of the nervous system. It is a more narrowly defined field than physiological psychology or psychophysiology.
Models, Statistical
Statistical formulations or analyses which, when applied to data and found to fit the data, are then used to verify the assumptions and parameters used in the analysis. Examples of statistical models are the linear model, binomial model, polynomial model, two-parameter model, etc.
Data Interpretation, Statistical
Application of statistical procedures to analyze specific observed or assumed facts from a particular study.
Bibliometrics
The use of statistical methods in the analysis of a body of literature to reveal the historical development of subject fields and patterns of authorship, publication, and use. Formerly called statistical bibliography. (from The ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science, 1983)
