  2. Infinite divisibility (probability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_divisibility...

    The characteristic function of any infinitely divisible distribution is then called an infinitely divisible characteristic function. [ 1 ] More rigorously, the probability distribution F is infinitely divisible if, for every positive integer n , there exist n i.i.d. random variables X n 1 , ..., X nn whose sum S n = X n 1 + ... + X nn has the ...

  3. Infinite divisibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_divisibility

    Infinite divisibility arises in different ways in philosophy, physics, economics, order theory (a branch of mathematics), and probability theory (also a branch of mathematics). One may speak of infinite divisibility, or the lack thereof, of matter , space , time , money , or abstract mathematical objects such as the continuum .

  5. Cauchy distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_distribution

    The Cauchy distribution is an infinitely divisible probability distribution. It is also a strictly stable distribution. [8] Like all stable distributions, the location-scale family to which the Cauchy distribution belongs is closed under linear transformations with real coefficients.

  6. Compound Poisson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_Poisson_distribution

    Every infinitely divisible probability distribution is a limit of compound Poisson distributions. [1] And compound Poisson distributions is infinitely divisible by the definition. Discrete compound Poisson distribution

  7. Stable distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_distribution

    Stable distributions are infinitely divisible. Stable distributions are leptokurtotic and heavy-tailed distributions, with the exception of the normal distribution (=). Stable distributions are closed under convolution. Stable distributions are closed under convolution for a fixed value of .

  8. Indecomposable distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecomposable_distribution

    All infinitely divisible distributions are a fortiori decomposable; in particular, this includes the stable distributions, such as the normal distribution.; The uniform distribution on the interval [0, 1] is decomposable, since it is the sum of the Bernoulli variable that assumes 0 or 1/2 with equal probabilities and the uniform distribution on [0, 1/2].

  9. Log-Cauchy distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-Cauchy_distribution

    The log-Cauchy distribution is infinitely divisible for some parameters but not for others. [10] Like the lognormal distribution, log-t or log-Student distribution and Weibull distribution, the log-Cauchy distribution is a special case of the generalized beta distribution of the second kind.
