In mathematics and statistics , an asymptotic distribution is a hypothetical distribution that is in a sense the limiting distribution of a sequence of distributions.

Other uses Weight distribution Mass distribution is a term used in physics and mechanics and describes the spatial distribution of mass within a solid body. In principle, it is relevant also for gas es or liquid s, but on earth their mass distribution is almost homogeneous. Astronomy In astronomy mass distribution has decisive influence on the development e.g. of nebula e, star s and planet s. The mass distribution of a solid defines its center of gravity and influences its dynamical behaviour e.g. the oscillation s and eventual rotation . Mathematical modelling A mass distribution can be modeled as a Measure mathematics measure . This allows point masses, line masses, surface masses, as well as masses given by a volume density function. Alternatively the latter can be generalized to a distribution mathematics distribution . For example, a point mass is represented by a Dirac delta Generalizations delta function defined in 3 dimensional space . A surface mass on a surface given by the equation f x,y,z 0 may be represented by a density distribution g x,y,z f x,y,z , where math g mid nabla f mid math is the mass per unit area. The mathematical model ling can be done by potential theory , by numerical methods e.g. a great number of point mass mass point s , or by theoretical mechanical equilibrium equilibrium figures.

The Moffat distribution , named after the physicist Anthony Moffat , is a continuous probability distribution based upon the Cauchy distribution Lorentzian distribution . Its particular importance in astrophysics is due to its ability to accurately reconstruct point spread function s, whose wings cannot be accurately portrayed by either a Gaussian function Gaussian or Cauchy distribution Lorentzian function.

The K distribution is a probability distribution that arises as the consequence of a statistical or probabilistic model used in Synthetic aperture radar Synthetic Aperture Radar SAR imagery. The K distribution is formed by Compound probability distribution compounding two separate probability distribution s, one representing the radar cross section , and the other representing speckle that is a characteristic of coherent imaging. The model used to represent the observed intensity X , involves compounding two gamma distribution s. In each case a reparameterisation of the usual form of the family of gamma distributions is used, such that the parameters are the mean of the distribution, and the usual shape parameter. Density The model is that X has a gamma distribution with mean and shape parameter L , with being treated as a random variable having another gamma distribution, this time with mean and shape parameter . The result is that X has the following density function x 0 ref name Redding Redding 1999 ref math f X x nu,L frac 2 x left frac L nu x mu right frac L nu 2 frac 1 Gamma L Gamma nu K nu L left 2 sqrt frac L nu x mu right , math where K is a modified Bessel function of the second kind.

Note that the K dimensional categorical distribution is the most general distribution over a K way event any other discrete distribution over a size K sample ... distribution is the generalization of the Bernoulli distribution for a categorical random variable ... distribution is termed the discrete distribution . However, this properly refers not to one particular family of distributions but to a discrete distribution general class of distributions ... and multinomial distribution s are conflated, and it is common to speak of a multinomial distribution when a categorical distribution is actually meant. ref name minka Minka, T. 2003 http research.microsoft.com ... distribution . Technical report Microsoft Research. ref This imprecise usage stems from the fact that it is sometimes convenient to express the outcome of a categorical distribution as a 1 ... than as an integer in the range 1 to K in this form, a categorical distribution is equivalent to a multinomial distribution for a single observation see below . However, conflating the categorical and multinomial distributions can lead to problems. For example, in a Dirichlet multinomial distribution ... as a result of collapsed Gibbs sampling where Dirichlet distribution s are collapsed out of a Hierarchical ... distribution of the same variables with the same Dirichlet multinomial distribution has two different ... more details
