  2. Buffon's needle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffon's_needle_problem

    Here, x = 0 represents a needle that is centered directly on a line, and x = ⁠ t / 2 ⁠ represents a needle that is perfectly centered between two lines. The uniform PDF assumes the needle is equally likely to fall anywhere in this range, but could not fall outside of it. The uniform probability density function of θ between 0 and ⁠ π ...

  3. Continuity in probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_in_probability

    Feller processes are continuous in probability at =.Continuity in probability is a sometimes used as one of the defining property for Lévy process. [1] Any process that is continuous in probability and has independent increments has a version that is càdlàg. [2]

  4. Range (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The probability of having a specific range value, t, can be determined by adding the probabilities of having two samples differing by t, and every other sample having a value between the two extremes. The probability of one sample having a value of x is (). The probability of another having a value t greater than x is:

  5. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Figure 1: The left graph shows a probability density function. The right graph shows the cumulative distribution function. The value at a in the cumulative distribution equals the area under the probability density curve up to the point a. Absolutely continuous probability distributions can be described in several ways.

  6. Continuous stochastic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_stochastic_process

    In probability theory, a continuous stochastic process is a type of stochastic process that may be said to be "continuous" as a function of its "time" or index parameter. Continuity is a nice property for (the sample paths of) a process to have, since it implies that they are well-behaved in some sense, and, therefore, much easier to analyze.

  7. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

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

    The Dirac delta function, although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 0 — a degenerate distribution — it is a Distribution (mathematics) in the generalized function sense; but the notation treats it as if it ...

  8. Plot (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_(graphics)

    The graphs can be used together to determine the economic equilibrium (essentially, to solve an equation). Simple graph used for reading values: the bell-shaped normal or Gaussian probability distribution, from which, for example, the probability of a man's height being in a specified range can be derived, given data for the adult male population.

  9. Continuous or discrete variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_or_discrete...

    Mixed models may also involve a single variable that is discrete over some range of the number line and continuous at another range. In probability theory and statistics, the probability distribution of a mixed random variable consists of both discrete and continuous components. A mixed random variable does not have a cumulative distribution ...
