  2. Memorylessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorylessness

    The only memoryless continuous probability distribution is the exponential distribution, shown in the following proof: [9] First, define S ( t ) = Pr ( X > t ) {\displaystyle S(t)=\Pr(X>t)} , also known as the distribution's survival function .

  3. Inverse distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, an inverse distribution is the distribution of the reciprocal of a random variable. Inverse distributions arise in particular in the Bayesian context of prior distributions and posterior distributions for scale parameters .

  4. Inverse probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_probability

    The method of inverse probability (assigning a probability distribution to an unobserved variable) is called Bayesian probability, the distribution of data given the unobserved variable is the likelihood function (which does not by itself give a probability distribution for the parameter), and the distribution of an unobserved variable, given ...

  5. Characteristic function (probability theory) - Wikipedia

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

    a function of t, determines the behavior and properties of the probability distribution of X. It is equivalent to a probability density function or cumulative distribution function, since knowing one of these functions allows computation of the others, but they provide different insights into the features of the random variable. In particular ...

  6. 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 ...

    Degenerate distribution: A deterministic or fixed service time. M/D/1 queue: E k: Erlang distribution: An Erlang distribution with k as the shape parameter (i.e., sum of k i.i.d. exponential random variables). G: General distribution: Although G usually refers to independent service time, some authors prefer to use GI to be explicit. M/G/1 ...
