Preferred Label : most probable distribution (in macromolecular assemblies);
IUPAC definition : A discrete distribution with the differential mass-distribution function of the form:
\[f_{{w}}(x) a {2}\ x\ (1- a) {x- 1}\] where x is a parameter characterizing the
chain length, such as relative molecular mass or degree of polymerization and a is
a positive adjustable parameter. For large values of x, the most probable distribution
converges to the particular case of the Schulz–Zimm distribution with b 1. In the
literature, this distribution is sometimes referred to as the Flory distribution or
the Schulz–Flory distribution.;
