Univariate distributions

The distributions where each sample is scalar are Univariate distributions. We can categorize them further into two distributions based on the values they support:

• Univariate Continuous Distribution

• Univariate Discrete Distribution

Abstract types:

julia> typealias UnivariateDistribution{S<:ValueSupport} Distribution{Univariate,S} 
 
julia> typealias DiscreteUnivariateDistribution   Distribution{Univariate, Discrete} 
julia> typealias ContinuousUnivariateDistribution Distribution{Univariate, Continuous} 

Many methods are implemented for Univariate distributions in the package, which provides necessary functionalities.

Retrieving parameters

• params(distributionX): This will return a tuple of parameters

• succprob(distributionX): This returns the probability of success

• failprob(distributionX): This returns the probability of failure

• dof(distributionX): This returns the degree of freedom

• ncategories(distributionX): This returns the number of...
