退化分布
A 退化分布 is a special type of probability distribution where all the probability mass is concentrated at a single point or value. This means that there is no variability in the outcomes; the random variable takes on only one specific value with a probability of 1.
Mathematically, if X is a random variable with a degenerate distribution, then there exists a constant ‘c’ such that:
X = c with probability 1.
This can be visualized as a distribution that has a spike at the value ‘c’ on the number line, with the probability density function (PDF) being zero everywhere else. The 累積分布関数 (CDF) for a degenerate distribution jumps from 0 to 1 at the point ‘c’.

For example, in a scenario where an experiment always yields the same result, the outcome can be modeled using a degenerate distribution.
While degenerate distributions may seem trivial, they serve important roles in various 統計的方法, such as ベイズ推論, where prior beliefs can be represented as degenerate distributions centered around a specific hypothesis.
