  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. Shape of a probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_a_probability...

    The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include: mounded (or unimodal), U-shaped, J-shaped, reverse-J shaped and multi-modal. [1] A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one. The shape of a distribution is ...

  4. Laplace distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the Laplace distribution is a continuous probability distribution named after Pierre-Simon Laplace.It is also sometimes called the double exponential distribution, because it can be thought of as two exponential distributions (with an additional location parameter) spliced together along the abscissa, although the term is also sometimes used to refer to ...

  5. Subexponential distribution (light-tailed) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subexponential...

    In probability theory, one definition of a subexponential distribution is as a probability distribution whose tails decay at an exponential rate, or faster: a real-valued distribution is called subexponential if, for a random variable ,

  6. Asymmetric Laplace distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Asymmetric_Laplace_distribution

    They may also be generated as the difference of two exponential distributions. If X 1 is drawn from exponential distribution with mean and rate (m 1,λ/κ) and X 2 is drawn from an exponential distribution with mean and rate (m 2,λκ) then X 1 - X 2 is distributed according to the asymmetric Laplace distribution with parameters (m1-m2, λ, κ)

  7. Double exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Double_exponential_distribution

    Laplace distribution, or bilateral exponential distribution, consisting of two exponential distributions glued together on each side of a threshold; Gumbel distribution, the cumulative distribution function of which is an iterated exponential function (the exponential of an exponential function).

    There’s a difference between being totally over your day and sundowning. In addition to the symptoms listed above, sundowning can include verbal or even physical outbursts, Elhelou says.

    The parameters have been chosen to result in a variance equal to 1 in each case. The images on the right show curves for the following seven densities, on a linear scale and logarithmic scale: D: Laplace distribution, also known as the double exponential distribution, red curve (two straight lines in the log-scale plot), excess kurtosis = 3
