  2. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

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

    Indeed, even when the random variable does not have a density, the characteristic function may be seen as the Fourier transform of the measure corresponding to the random variable. Another related concept is the representation of probability distributions as elements of a reproducing kernel Hilbert space via the kernel embedding of distributions .

  3. Convergence of random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergence_of_random...

    As an example one may consider random variables with densities f n (x) = (1 + cos(2πnx))1 (0,1). These random variables converge in distribution to a uniform U(0, 1), whereas their densities do not converge at all. [3] However, according to Scheffé’s theorem, convergence of the probability density functions implies convergence in ...

  4. Continuous uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_uniform...

    The standard uniform distribution is a special case of the beta distribution, with parameters (1,1). The sum of two independent uniform distributions U 1 (a,b)+U 2 (c,d) yields a trapezoidal distribution, symmetric about its mean, on the support [a+c,b+d].

  5. Uniform convergence in probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_convergence_in...

    Uniform convergence in probability is a form of convergence in probability in statistical asymptotic theory and probability theory. It means that, under certain conditions, the empirical frequencies of all events in a certain event-family converge to their theoretical probabilities .

  6. Discrete uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_uniform_distribution

    Less simply, a random permutation is a permutation generated uniformly randomly from the permutations of a given set and a uniform spanning tree of a graph is a spanning tree selected with uniform probabilities from the full set of spanning trees of the graph. The discrete uniform distribution itself is non-parametric.

    Then is a weak uniform Glivenko-Cantelli class if and only if it is a strong uniform Glivenko-Cantelli class. The following theorem is central to statistical learning of binary classification tasks. Theorem ( Vapnik and Chervonenkis , 1968) [ 8 ]

  8. Logistic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_distribution

    The logistic distribution arises as limit distribution of a finite-velocity damped random motion described by a telegraph process in which the random times between consecutive velocity changes have independent exponential distributions with linearly increasing parameters. [4]

  9. Non-uniform random variate generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-uniform_random_variate...

    Non-uniform random variate generation or pseudo-random number sampling is the numerical practice of generating pseudo-random numbers (PRN) that follow a given probability distribution. Methods are typically based on the availability of a uniformly distributed PRN generator .
