What is Exponential Distribution

Towards Data Science

Is the exponential parameter λ the same as λ in Poisson? Remember that 0.25 is not a time duration, but it is an event rate, which is the same as the parameter λ in a Poisson process.

simulating Gumbel’s bivariate exponential distribution

R-bloggers

A challenge interesting enough for a sunny New Year morn, found on X validated, namely the simulation of a bivariate exponential distribution proposed by Gumbel in 1960, with density over the positive...

Chapter 5 Modeling distributions

Think Stats

The distributions we have used so far are called empirical distributions because they are based on empirical observations, which are necessarily finite samples. The alternative is an analytic distribu...

Distributions

Think Bayes

In the previous chapter we used Bayes’s Theorem to solve a cookie problem; then we solved it again using a Bayes table. In this chapter, at the risk of testing your patience, we will solve it one mor...

Distributions

Dive intro Deep Learning Book

Now that we have learned how to work with probability in both the discrete and the continuous setting, let’s get to know some of the common distributions encountered. Depending on the area of machine ...

What’s a pushforward distribution?

Towards Data Science

Suppose you have a random variable X, and you put it through some transformation g. The distribution of the resulting random variable g(X) is known as the “pushforward distribution”. Today we’ll…

Statistical Distributions

Towards Data Science

A probability distribution is a mathematical function that provides the probabilities of the occurrence of various possible outcomes in an experiment. Probability distributions are used to define…

Modeling Exponential Growth

Towards Data Science

With the current outbreak of the Coronavirus going on, we hear a lot about Exponential Growth. In this article, I show how to understand and analyze Exponential Growth. If you want to follow along…
