Related Distributions
- If X has a standard uniform distribution, then by the inverse transform sampling method, Y = − ln(X) / λ has an exponential distribution with (rate) parameter λ.
- If X has a standard uniform distribution, then Y = Xn has a beta distribution with parameters 1/n and 1. (Note this implies that the standard uniform distribution is a special case of the beta distribution, with parameters 1 and 1.)
- The Irwin–Hall distribution is the sum of n i.i.d. U(0,1) distributions.
- The sum of two independent, equally distributed, uniform distributions yields a symmetric triangular distribution.

“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
