Probability distribution

Summary

A probability distribution describes how probability is spread over the possible values of a random quantity. Formally it is a probability measure on a space of values, such as the real line with its Borel sets. The node probability distribution gives the precise definition.

What this node needs for W2
  • edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
  • edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
  • edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
