1.3.6.6.2. Uniform Distribution (364 words) |
 | The uniform survival function can be computed from the uniform cumulative distribution function. |
| The uniform inverse survival function can be computed from the uniform percent point function. |
| One of the most important applications of the uniform distribution is in the generation of random numbers. |

Uniform distribution (381 words) |
| The uniform distributions are simple probability distributions which, in the discrete case, can be characterized by saying that all possible values are equally probable. |
| A simple example of the discrete uniform distribution is throwing a fair die (or, "a dice"): Each time the die is thrown, the probability of a given score is 1/6. |
| Although the uniform distribution is less commonly-found in nature than the normal distribution (for example), it is particularly useful for sampling from arbitrary distributions, using the inverse transform sampling method or the rejection sampling method[?]. |
