Kumaraswamy Distribution

Kumaraswamy Distribution

In probability and statistics, the Kumaraswamy's double bounded distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval differing in the values of their two non-negative shape parameters, a and b.

It is similar to the Beta distribution, but much simpler to use especially in simulation studies due to the simple closed form of both its probability density function and cumulative distribution function. This distribution was originally proposed by Poondi Kumaraswamy for variables that are lower and upper bounded.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:

    My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
