Geometrical understanding of the Cauchy distribution.

Carles M. Cuadras (2002)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Advanced calculus is necessary to prove rigorously the main properties of the Cauchy distribution. It is well known that the Cauchy distribution can be generated by a tangent transformation of the uniform distribution. By interpreting this transformation on a circle, it is possible to present elementary and intuitive proofs of some important and useful properties of the distribution.

On the ratio of gamma and Rayleigh random variables

Saralees Nadarajah (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The gamma and Rayleigh distributions are two of the most applied distributions in engineering. Motivated by engineering issues, the exact distribution of the quotient X/Y is derived when X and Y are independent gamma and Rayleigh random variables. Tabulations of the associated percentage points and a computer program for generating them are also given.

A note on the Ecogen language built-in random deviate generators.

Jordi Ocaña, M.ª Carmen Ruiz de Villa, Guillem Alonso (1986)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

The standard ECOGEN (a simulation language based on Pascal) random deviate generators are described. For every one of them, a short usage note and a description of the algorithm and underlying theory is presented. This paper must be considered as an addenda to a previous one where the ECOGEN language was described. The ECOGEN random deviate generators include the continuous and discrete uniform, Poisson, binomial, exponential, Cauchy, normal or Laplace-Gauss, beta, gamma, Weibull, Pareto...
