Probability Density Function
The Dirichlet distribution of order K ≥ 2 with parameters α1, ..., αK > 0 has a probability density function with respect to Lebesgue measure on the Euclidean space RK-1 given by
for all x1, ..., xK–1 > 0 satisfying x1 + ... + xK–1 < 1, and where xK = 1 – x1 – ... – xK–1. The density is zero outside this open (K − 1)-dimensional simplex.
The normalizing constant is the multinomial Beta function, which can be expressed in terms of the gamma function:

Famous quotes containing the words probability and/or function:
“Only in Britain could it be thought a defect to be “too clever by half.” The probability is that too many people are too stupid by three-quarters.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
