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.

Famous quotes containing the word related:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
