ems:UniformDistribution

Probability distributions: ems:PointEstimate, ems:UniformDistribution, ems:TriangularDistribution, ems:NormalDistribution, ems:PoissonDistribution, ems:QuantileFunction, ems:CumulativeDistributionFunction

Description

A uniform distribution is a probability distribution in which any value between a given low and high value is equally probable, and any value outside that range has zero probability.

An ems:UniformDistribution resource represents a uniform distribution.

Properties

An ems:UniformDistribution resource has the following properties:

Property Range Type Occurrence Edits Description
ems:low datatype xsd:double exactly-one read-write The low value.
ems:high datatype xsd:double exactly-one read-write The high value.

ems:low

This is the low value of the distribution. The probability is zero below this value and goes positive above this value.

ems:high

This is the high value of the distribution. The probability is zero above this value and goes positive below this value.

Examples

Uniform Distribution 1

The following resource represents a uniform distribution with a low value of 30000 and a high value of 100000:
