The indistinguishability correction in the Boltzmann formulation is incorporated in the following way: ( N = total number of particles; $\mathrm{f}=$ single-particle partition function)
(a)Replace f by $\mathrm{f} / \mathrm{N}$ !
(b)Replace $\mathrm{f}^{\mathrm{N}}$ by $\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{N}} / \mathrm{N}$ !
(c)Replace f by $\mathrm{f} / \ln (\mathrm{N}!)$
(d)Replace $\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{N}}$ by $\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{N}} / \ln (\mathrm{N}!)$
