Data Analysis 1 Density

The comparison with experiment can be made at several levels. The first, and most common, is in the comparison of derived quantities that are not directly measurable, for example, a set of average crystal coordinates or a diffusion constant. A comparison at this level is convenient in that the quantities involved describe directly the structure and dynamics of the system. However, the obtainment of these quantities, from experiment and/or simulation, may require approximation and model-dependent data analysis. For example, to obtain experimentally a set of average crystallographic coordinates, a physical model to interpret an electron density map must be imposed. To avoid these problems the comparison can be made at the level of the measured quantities themselves, such as diffraction intensities or dynamic structure factors. A comparison at this level still involves some approximation. For example, background corrections have to made in the experimental data reduction. However, fewer approximations are necessary for the structure and dynamics of the sample itself, and comparison with experiment is normally more direct. This approach requires a little more work on the part of the computer simulation team, because methods for calculating experimental intensities from simulation configurations must be developed. The comparisons made here are of experimentally measurable quantities.

Data Analysis Using Absorption Probability Density (Example Guanidinium Nitroprusside)... 

A rather crude, but nevertheless efficient and successful, approach is the bond fluctuation model with potentials constructed from atomistic input (Sect. 5). Despite the lattice structure, it has been demonstrated that a rather reasonable description of many static and dynamic properties of dense polymer melts (polyethylene, polycarbonate) can be obtained. If the effective potentials are known, the implementation of the simulation method is rather straightforward, and also the simulation data analysis presents no particular problems. Indeed, a wealth of results has already been obtained, as briefly reviewed in this section. However, even this conceptually rather simple approach of coarse-graining (which historically was also the first to be tried out among the methods described in this article) suffers from severe bottlenecks - the construction of the effective potential is neither unique nor easy, and still suffers from the important defect that it lacks an intermolecular part, thus allowing only simulations at a given constant density. 

The basic wood densities (dry) for different species were obtained from Ref. [36]. A basic density value obtained from the weighted average of the densities of each site s species was used for the species that for various reasons could not be identified. For estimation of SOC (soil organic carbon), equation (6) was used [30]. For data analysis, the nonparametric type test was chosen. We used the INFOSTAT software, and a value of 0.05 was considered significant. 

Alternatively, NIR spectroscopy has been applied to relate NIR data to mechanical properties [4], A multivariate data analysis was performed on a series of commercial ethene copolymers with 1-butene and 1-octene. For the density correlation, a coefficient of determination better than 99% was obtained, whereas this was 97.7% for the flexural modulus, and only 85% for the tensile strength. 

Options of data analysis can be deduced from the magic square and our notions concerning the structure. As an example let us consider the case of small-angle X-ray scattering. Here it is, in general, assumed that the structure is described by a continuous density function. Although there is no9 way back from intensity to density, there are several options for data analysis ... 

However, it is known, that in homolytical processes certaine influence on reaction rate has also so-called "cage effect", which is described by density of medium cohesion energy. That was confirmed by generalization of data concerning to influence of solvents upon decomposition rate of benzoyl peroxide [2] or oxidizing processes [3, 4], That is why the data analysis from work [1] is seemed as expedient by means of five parameter equation ... 

Some of the above plots can be combined in one graphical display, like onedimensional scatter plot, histogram, probability density plot, and boxplot. Figure 1.7 shows this so-called edaplot (exploratory data analysis plot) (Reimann et al. 2008). It provides deeper insight into the univariate data distribution The single groups are... 

Any high-throughput system for protein crystallography requires efficient processes for converting measured diffraction images into experimental electron density maps and structures. Chapters 6 to IT and T 3 cover the various approaches to data analysis in considerable depth. 

The topological analysis of the total density, developed by Bader and coworkers, leads to a scheme of natural partitioning into atomic basins which each obey the virial theorem. The sum of the energies of the individual atoms defined in this way equals the total energy of the system. While the Bader partitioning was initially developed for the analysis of theoretical densities, it is equally applicable to model densities based on the experimental data. The density obtained from the Fourier transform of the structure factors is generally not suitable for this purpose, because of experimental noise, truncation effects, and thermal smearing. 

Moisture content, density, and tensile strength of the sample are known and were found to influence the NIR spectra. Hence, multivariate data analysis... 

Data analysis methods depend upon the level of order in the sample. The degree of order, in turn, depends upon the scale of distance on which the sample is viewed. For example, casein micelles show great variation in size (20 to 300 nm diameter) and so must be treated as a polydisperse system. However, the density variations ( submicelles ) within the whole micelle are much more uniform in size. They can be treated as a quasi-monodisperse system (Stothart and Cebula, 1982) and analyzed in terms of inter-particle interference (Stothart, 1989). 

A — 1.064 /xm using the instrumentation and data analysis procedures described above. Typical d33 values at zero time were found to be in the range 0.1 -1.0 x 10 esu. These magnitudes agree well with those expected for the chromophore number densities employed (N = 0.4-1.9 x 10 /cm ), assuming literature Mz zzz values for the chromophore and the applicability of an isolated chromophore, molecular gas description of the field-induced chromophore orientation process (7,8). 

When coupled with revolutionary advances in data analysis, whereby a low resolution three-dimensional electron density map may be recovered from the one-dimensional X-ray scattering profile, SAXS has now become a routine technique for characterizing conformational changes in biomolecules (Lipfert and Doniach, 2007 Petoukhov and Svergun, 2007 Putnam et al., 2007). To date such methods have been used to study proteins in solution. Only recently have these methods been applied to the study of RNA molecules in solution (Lipfert et al., 2007a). 

Digitizing the waveforms at 5 ns increments over nearly 6 decades yields in excess of 260,000 data points. This has two drawbacks. One is that it is simply inconvenient the excessive number of data points is cumbersome and impedes data analysis and display. The second drawback has a more important consequence. Digitizing a long time span in small intervals leads to unnecessary point density at longer times. For example, at t — 25 ns, the...
