Types of probability distributions

Symmetric probability distribution

In statistics, a symmetric probability distribution is a probability distribution—an assignment of probabilities to possible occurrences—which is unchanged when its probability density function (for continuous probability distribution) or probability mass function (for discrete random variables) is reflected around a vertical line at some value of the random variable represented by the distribution. This vertical line is the line of symmetry of the distribution. Thus the probability of being any given distance on one side of the value about which symmetry occurs is the same as the probability of being the same distance on the other side of that value. (Wikipedia).

UNIFORM Probability Distribution for Discrete Random Variables (9-5)

Uniform Probability Distribution: (i.e., a rectangular distribution) is a probability distribution involving one random variable with a constant probability. Each potential outcome is equally likely, such as flipping coin and getting heads is always 50/50. On Chaos Night, Dante experiment

Geometric Random Variables

Probability: We define geometric random variables, and find the mean, variance, and moment generating function of such. The key tools are the geometric power series and its derivatives.

Binomial and geometric distributions | Probability and Statistics | NJ Wildberger

We review the basic setup so far of a random variable X on a probability space (S,P), taking on values x_1,x_2,...,x_n with probabilities p_1,p_2,...,p_n. The associated probability distribution is just the record of the various values x_i and their probabilities p_i. It is this probabili

Leonid Petrov (Virginia) -- Random polymers and symmetric functions

I will survey integrable random polymers (based on gamma / inverse gamma or beta distributed weights), and explain their connection to symmetric functions (respectively, gl_n Whittaker and new spin Whittaker functions). The work on spin Whittaker functions is joint with Matteo Mucciconi.
