The uniform distribution or rectangular distribution on [a,b], where all points in a finite interval are equally likely, is a special case of the four-parameter Beta distribution. The Irwin–Hall distribution is the distribution of the sum of n independent random variables, each of which having the uniform distribution on [0,1].

Operations on distributions and spaces of distributions are often defined using the transpose of a linear operator. This is because the transpose allows for a unified presentation of the many definitions in the theory of distributions and also because its properties are well-known in functional analysis. [19]

The modern mathematical theory of probability has its roots in attempts to analyze games of chance by Gerolamo Cardano in the sixteenth century, and by Pierre de Fermat and Blaise Pascal in the seventeenth century (for example the "problem of points"). [3] Christiaan Huygens published a book on the subject in 1657. [4]
This page lists articles related to probability theory.In particular, it lists many articles corresponding to specific probability distributions.Such articles are marked here by a code of the form (X:Y), which refers to number of random variables involved and the type of the distribution.
In mathematics, the Schwartz kernel theorem is a foundational result in the theory of generalized functions, published by Laurent Schwartz in 1952. It states, in broad terms, that the generalized functions introduced by Schwartz (Schwartz distributions) have a two-variable theory that includes all reasonable bilinear forms on the space of test functions.
The gamma distribution with two parameters is an exponential family but not a NEF and the chi-squared distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution with fixed scale parameter, and thus is also an exponential family but not a NEF (note that only a gamma distribution with fixed shape parameter is a NEF).
