  2. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could be any meaningful mono-dimensional measure of the process, such as time ...

  3. Cumulative distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution...

    Cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution Cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution. In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a real-valued random variable, or just distribution function of , evaluated at , is the probability that will take a value less than or equal to .

  4. Survival function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_function

    If time can take on any positive value, then the cumulative distribution function F(t) is the integral of the probability density function f(t). For the air-conditioning example, the graph of the CDF below illustrates that the probability that the time to failure is less than or equal to 100 hours is 0.81 , as estimated using the exponential ...

  5. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    Cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution, often used as the cumulative failure function ().. To accurately model failures over time, a cumulative failure distribution, () must be defined, which can be any cumulative distribution function (CDF) that gradually increases from to .

  6. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

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

    The Dagum distribution; The exponential distribution, which describes the time between consecutive rare random events in a process with no memory. The exponential-logarithmic distribution; The F-distribution, which is the distribution of the ratio of two (normalized) chi-squared-distributed random variables, used in the analysis of variance.

  7. Quantile function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile_function

    The quantile function is one way of prescribing a probability distribution, and it is an alternative to the probability density function (pdf) or probability mass function, the cumulative distribution function (cdf) and the characteristic function.

  8. Continuous uniform distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Continuous_uniform_distribution

    The uniform distribution is useful for sampling from arbitrary distributions. A general method is the inverse transform sampling method, which uses the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the target random variable. This method is very useful in theoretical work.

  9. Generalized Pareto distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Generalized_Pareto_distribution

    The standard cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the GPD is defined by [6] ... are both zero, the GPD is equivalent to the exponential distribution.
