CauchyDistribution
CauchyDistribution
[
a
,
b
]
represents a Cauchy distribution with location parameter
a
and scale parameter
b
.
MORE INFORMATION
The probability density for value
x
in a Cauchy distribution is proportional to
.
»
CauchyDistribution
allows
a
to be any real number and
b
to be any positive real number.
CauchyDistribution
can be used with such functions as
Mean
,
CDF
and
RandomReal
