In probability theory and statistics, a categorical distribution (also called a generalized Bernoulli distribution, multinoulli distribution [1]) is a discrete probability distribution that describes the possible results of a random variable that can take on one of K possible categories, with the probability of each category separately specified.
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 were a continuous distribution. The Kent distribution on the two-dimensional sphere.

The data type is a fundamental concept in statistics and controls what sorts of probability distributions can logically be used to describe the variable, the permissible operations on the variable, the type of regression analysis used to predict the variable, etc.

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 function that is discrete or everywhere-continuous. An example of a mixed type random variable is the probability of wait time in a queue.
An absolutely continuous random variable is a random variable whose probability distribution is absolutely continuous. There are many examples of absolutely continuous probability distributions: normal, uniform, chi-squared, and others.
