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.

“So-called “austerity,” the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. “Pull in your belt” is a slogan closely related to “gird up your loins,” or the guns-butter metaphor.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
