  2. Stable distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_distribution

    A random variable is said to be stable if its distribution is stable. The stable distribution family is also sometimes referred to as the Lévy alpha-stable distribution , after Paul Lévy , the first mathematician to have studied it.

  3. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

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

    The Bates distribution is the distribution of the mean of n independent random variables, each of which having the uniform distribution on [0,1]. The logit-normal distribution on (0,1). The Dirac delta function , although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions.

  4. Stable process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_process

    In probability theory, a stable process is a type of stochastic process. It includes stochastic processes whose associated probability distributions are stable distributions. [1] Examples of stable processes include the Wiener process, or Brownian motion, whose associated probability distribution is the normal distribution.

    Default generator in R and the Python language starting from version 2.3. Xorshift: 2003 G. Marsaglia [26] It is a very fast sub-type of LFSR generators. Marsaglia also suggested as an improvement the xorwow generator, in which the output of a xorshift generator is added with a Weyl sequence.

  6. Stability (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_(probability)

    In probability theory, the stability of a random variable is the property that a linear combination of two independent copies of the variable has the same distribution, up to location and scale parameters. [1] The distributions of random variables having this property are said to be "stable distributions".

  7. Mersenne Twister - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister

    The Mersenne Twister is a general-purpose pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) developed in 1997 by Makoto Matsumoto (松本 眞) and Takuji Nishimura (西村 拓士). [1] [2] Its name derives from the choice of a Mersenne prime as its period length. The Mersenne Twister was designed specifically to rectify most of the flaws found in older PRNGs.

  8. Wikipedia:Random - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Random

    On Wikipedia and other sites running on MediaWiki, Special:Random can be used to access a random article in the main namespace; this feature is useful as a tool to generate a random article. Depending on your browser, it's also possible to load a random page using a keyboard shortcut (in Firefox , Edge , and Chrome Alt-Shift + X ).

  9. Lévy process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lévy_process

    In probability theory, a Lévy process, named after the French mathematician Paul Lévy, is a stochastic process with independent, stationary increments: it represents the motion of a point whose successive displacements are random, in which displacements in pairwise disjoint time intervals are independent, and displacements in different time intervals of the same length have identical ...
