Uniform distribution (mathematics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, the uniform distributions are simple probability distributions. There are two types:

• The discrete uniform distribution

• The continuous uniform distribution

They share the property that they have a finite range, and are weakly unimodal where any members of their support can be taken to be the mode.

In Bayesian statistics, some users assume improper (i.e. infinite) uniform prior distributions.
