other Weight distribution Mass distribution is a term used in physics and mechanics and describes the spatial distribution of mass within a solid body. In principle, it is relevant also for gas es or liquid s, but on earth their mass distribution is almost homogeneous. Astronomy In astronomy mass distribution has decisive influence on the development e.g. of nebula e, star s and planet s. The mass distribution of a solid defines its center of gravity and influences its dynamical behaviour e.g. the oscillation s and eventual rotation . Mathematical modelling A mass distribution can be modeled as a Measure mathematics measure . This allows point masses, line masses, surface masses, as well as masses given by a volume density function. Alternatively the latter can be generalized to a distribution mathematics distribution . For example, a point mass is represented by a Dirac delta Generalizations delta function defined in 3 dimensional space . A surface mass on a surface given by the equation f x,y,z 0 may be represented by a density distribution g x,y,z f x,y,z , where math g mid nabla f mid math is the mass per unit area. The mathematical model ling can be done by potential theory , by numerical methods e.g. a great number of point mass mass point s , or by theoretical mechanical equilibrium equilibrium figures. Geology In geology the aspects of rock density are involved. Rotating solids Rotation Rotating solids are affected considerably by the mass distribution, either if they are homogeneous or inhomogeneous see Torque , moment of inertia , wobble , imbalance and stability .

The K distribution is a probability distribution that arises as the consequence of a statistical or probabilistic model used in Synthetic aperture radar Synthetic Aperture Radar SAR imagery. The K distribution is formed by Compound probability distribution compounding two separate probability distribution s, one representing the radar cross section , and the other representing speckle that is a characteristic of coherent imaging. The model used to represent the observed intensity X , involves compounding two gamma distribution s. In each case a reparameterisation of the usual form of the family of gamma distributions is used, such that the parameters are the mean of the distribution, and the usual shape parameter. Density The model is that X has a gamma distribution with mean and shape parameter L , with being treated as a random variable having another gamma distribution, this time with mean and shape parameter . The result is that X has the following density function x 0 ref name Redding Redding 1999 ref math f X x nu,L frac 2 x left frac L nu x mu right frac L nu 2 frac 1 Gamma L Gamma nu K nu L left 2 sqrt frac L nu x mu right , math where K is a modified Bessel function of the second kind.

X and Y , the distribution of the random variable Z that is formed as the ratio math Z X Y , math is a ratio distribution . The Cauchy distribution is an example of a ratio distribution. The random variable associated with this distribution comes about as the ratio of two normal distribution Gaussian normal distributed variables with zero mean. Thus the Cauchy distribution is also called the normal ratio distribution .
