  2. Continuous uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Continuous_uniform_distribution

    Continuous uniform. In probability theory and statistics, the continuous uniform distributions or rectangular distributions are a family of symmetric probability distributions. Such a distribution describes an experiment where there is an arbitrary outcome that lies between certain bounds. [1]

  3. Central moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_moment

    Central moment. In probability theory and statistics, a central moment is a moment of a probability distribution of a random variable about the random variable's mean; that is, it is the expected value of a specified integer power of the deviation of the random variable from the mean. The various moments form one set of values by which the ...

  4. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The uniform distribution or rectangular distribution on [a,b], where all points in a finite interval are equally likely, is a special case of the four-parameter Beta distribution. The Irwin–Hall distribution is the distribution of the sum of n independent random variables, each of which having the uniform distribution on [0,1].

  5. Moment-generating function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment-generating_function

    In probability theory and statistics, the moment-generating function of a real-valued random variable is an alternative specification of its probability distribution. Thus, it provides the basis of an alternative route to analytical results compared with working directly with probability density functions or cumulative distribution functions.

  6. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    A probability distribution is a mathematical description of the probabilities of events, subsets of the sample space. The sample space, often represented in notation by is the set of all possible outcomes of a random phenomenon being observed. The sample space may be any set: a set of real numbers, a set of descriptive labels, a set of vectors ...

  7. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_function...

    The characteristic function is a way to describe a random variable. The characteristic function, a function of t, determines the behavior and properties of the probability distribution of the random variable X. It is equivalent to a probability density function or cumulative distribution function in the sense that knowing one of the functions ...

  8. Method of moments (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_moments_(statistics)

    Method of moments (statistics) In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters. The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of ...

  9. Discrete uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_uniform_distribution

    Discrete uniform distribution. In probability theory and statistics, the discrete uniform distribution is a symmetric probability distribution wherein a finite number of values are equally likely to be observed; every one of n values has equal probability 1/ n. Another way of saying "discrete uniform distribution" would be "a known, finite ...
