Continuous Probability Distributions Definitions Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take ...

W. Kenneth Poole, Estimation of the Distribution Function of a Continuous Type Random Variable Through Randomized Response, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 69, No. 348 (Dec., ...

In a number of situations we are faced with the problem of determining efficient estimates of the mean and variance of a distribution specified by (i) a non-zero probability that the variable assumes ...

Fundamental notions such as random variables, distribution functions and probability density functions facilitate the analysis of both discrete and continuous outcomes.

Continuous variables are simulated using either Fleishman’s third order or Headrick’s fifth-order power method transformation. Simulation occurs at the component level for continuous mixture ...
