Central Limit Theorem

CLT

The Central Limit Theorem states that the distribution of sample means approaches a normal distribution as sample size increases.

Cumulative Distribution Function

CDF

A Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) describes the probability that a random variable takes on a value less than or equal to a specified value.

Degenerate Distribution

A degenerate distribution is a probability distribution concentrated at a single point.

Dirichlet Distribution

D

The Dirichlet distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions used for modeling proportions.

Frequentist Probability

Frequentist Probability is a framework for understanding probability as the long-run frequency of events based on repeated trials.

Indicator Function

I

An indicator function is a mathematical tool that shows whether a condition is true or false for a given input.

Inverse Transform Sampling

ITS

A method to generate random samples from any probability distribution using its cumulative distribution function (CDF).

Joint Distribution

Joint distribution describes the probability distribution of two or more random variables simultaneously.

Joint Probability Distribution

JPD

A joint probability distribution describes the likelihood of two or more random variables occurring simultaneously.

Markov Property

MP

The Markov Property states that future states depend only on the current state, not on past states.

Moment Matching

MM

Moment matching is a statistical technique used to approximate a probability distribution by matching its moments.
