Schulz–Zimm distribution
text:
The Schulz–Zimm distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution. It is widely used to model the polydispersity of polymers. In this context it has been introduced in 1939 by Günter Victor Schulz and in 1948 by Bruno H. Zimm. This distribution has only a shape parameter k, the scale being fixed at θ=1/k. Accordingly, the probability density function is When applied to polymers, the variable x is the relative mass or chain length x = M / M n . Accordingly, the mass distribution f is just
