    The Dirichlet distribution, a generalization of the beta distribution. The Ewens's sampling formula is a probability distribution on the set of all partitions of an integer n, arising in population genetics. The Balding–Nichols model; The multinomial distribution, a generalization of the binomial distribution.

  5. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    Dirichlet distribution, for a vector of probabilities that must sum to 1; conjugate to the categorical distribution and multinomial distribution; generalization of the beta distribution Wishart distribution , for a symmetric non-negative definite matrix; conjugate to the inverse of the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution ...

  6. Multinomial distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinomial_distribution

    This stems from the fact that it is sometimes convenient to express the outcome of a categorical distribution as a "1-of-k" vector (a vector with one element containing a 1 and all other elements containing a 0) rather than as an integer in the range …; in this form, a categorical distribution is equivalent to a multinomial distribution over ...

  7. Categorical variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_variable

    The probability distribution associated with a random categorical variable is called a categorical distribution. Categorical data is the statistical data type consisting of categorical variables or of data that has been converted into that form, for example as grouped data .

  8. Dirichlet distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_distribution

    It is a multivariate generalization of the beta distribution, [1] hence its alternative name of multivariate beta distribution (MBD). [2] Dirichlet distributions are commonly used as prior distributions in Bayesian statistics, and in fact, the Dirichlet distribution is the conjugate prior of the categorical distribution and multinomial ...

  9. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

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

    The formula in the definition of characteristic function allows us to compute φ when we know the distribution function F (or density f). If, on the other hand, we know the characteristic function φ and want to find the corresponding distribution function, then one of the following inversion theorems can be used. Theorem.
