Ratio Distribution - Ratio of Standard Normal To Standard Uniform

Ratio of Standard Normal To Standard Uniform

If X has a standard normal distribution and Y has a standard uniform distribution, then Z = X / Y has a distribution known as the slash distribution, with probability density function

p_Z(z) = \begin{cases} \left / z^2 \quad & z \ne 0 \\ \phi(0) / 2 \quad & z = 0, \\ \end{cases}

where φ(z) is the probability density function of the standard normal distribution.

    “Personal rights, universally the same, demand a government framed on the ratio of the census: property demands a government framed on the ratio of owners and of owning.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “A magazine or a newspaper is a shop. Each is an experiment and represents a new focus, a new ratio between commerce and intellect.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    “Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind’s faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which seemeth to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity—namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.”
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)

    “The normal present connects the past and the future through limitation. Contiguity results, crystallization by means of solidification. There also exists, however, a spiritual present that identifies past and future through dissolution, and this mixture is the element, the atmosphere of the poet.”
    —Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)

    “The sugar maple is remarkable for its clean ankle. The groves of these trees looked like vast forest sheds, their branches stopping short at a uniform height, four or five feet from the ground, like eaves, as if they had been trimmed by art, so that you could look under and through the whole grove with its leafy canopy, as under a tent whose curtain is raised.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
