Uniform Transformation of Non-Separable Probability Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
A theoretical framework is developed to describe the transformation that distributes probability density functions uniformly over space. In one dimension, the cumulative distribution can be used, but does not generalize to higher dimensions, or non-separable distributions. A potential function is shown to link probability density functions to their transformation, and to generalize the cumulative. A numerical method is developed to compute the potential, and examples are shown in two dimensions.

Benford Distribution and its Applications
This papers considers the Benford distribution as one the interesting rules of probability theory. This rule shows that, despite of usual underestanding about the uniform distribution of digites for lieing on different positions in numbers, digits are distributed according to an non uniform distributions for numbers araising from many natural phonemena. Benford distribution proposes ...
متن کاملProbability Model of Allele Frequency of Alzheimer’s Disease Genetic Risk Factor
Background and Purpose: The identification of genetics risk factors of human diseases is very important. This study is conducted to model the allele frequencies (AFs) of Alzheimer’s disease. Materials and Methods: In this study, several candidate probability distributions are fitted on a data set of Alzheimer’s disease genetic risk factor. Unknown parameters of the considered dis...
متن کاملA Simple Transformation Method in Skewness Reduction
Statistical analysis of non-normal data is usually more complicated than that for normaldistribution. In this paper, a simple root/power transformation technique developed by Niaki, et al [1]is extended to transform right and left skewed distributions to nearly normal. The value of theroot/power is explored such that the skewness of the transformed data becomes almost zero with anacceptable err...
متن کاملWhen Do Heavy-Tail Distributions Help?
We examine the evidence for the widespread belief that heavy tail distributions enhance the search for minima on multimodal objective functions. We analyze isotropic and anisotropic heavy-tail Cauchy distributions and investigate the probability to sample a better solution, depending on the step length and the dimensionality of the search space. The probability decreases fast with increasing st...
متن کاملTesting a Point Null Hypothesis against One-Sided for Non Regular and Exponential Families: The Reconcilability Condition to P-values and Posterior Probability
In this paper, the reconcilability between the P-value and the posterior probability in testing a point null hypothesis against the one-sided hypothesis is considered. Two essential families, non regular and exponential family of distributions, are studied. It was shown in a non regular family of distributions; in some cases, it is possible to find a prior distribution function under which P-va...
