• Uncertainty quantificationNarrower topic: Distributions encode uncertain inputs and outputs in probabilistic analyses.

• Reinforcement learningRelated: Stochastic transitions and randomized policies are expressed as probability distributions.

• Independent and identically distributed random variablesRelated: Identical distribution means every variable has this same probability law.

• Probability mass functionNarrower topic: A mass function is one representation of a probability distribution for discrete outcomes.

• Sample spaceRelated: Distributions arise by assigning probabilities to outcomes or their measured values.

• Bayesian statisticsNarrower topic: Bayesian analyses express uncertainty about data and unknown quantities through distributions.

• Pseudorandom number generatorRelated: A generator's output is judged partly by whether its values follow the intended distribution.

• Interval arithmeticCompared with: Intervals encode ranges without assigning likelihoods to values.

• Posterior probabilityNarrower topic: A posterior over a continuous parameter is a distribution, not a probability for each exact value.

• Independent random variablesNarrower topic: Independence is defined by comparing the distributions of variables jointly and separately.

• Abraham de MoivreNarrower topic: De Moivre’s work helped establish quantitative descriptions of chance as a field of study.

• Modern portfolio theoryRelated: Return distributions supply the expected values and variances used in the model.
