probability distribution related properties

This is a proposal of several probability distribution related properties

Template:TranslateThis

Motivation

These properties may provide some useful information about probability distributions. GZWDer (talk) 21:15, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Discussion

• Currently many of those properties have quite general names and are therefore likely to be used outside of the stated domain. Please use more narrow names if you want to focus on this domain. ChristianKl (talk) 22:38, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Changed.--GZWDer (talk) 05:27, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• Okay the names now look reasonable to me. Template:Ws. Template:Ping project ChristianKl (talk) 16:33, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

• Template:Support except for probability density function which is essentially what the "defining formula" should be for a probability distribution - note the previous discussion on this: Wikidata:Property proposal/probability density function. ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:58, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
• Template:Ping insufficient support for so many (16) new properties and no activity in over 3 months, so marked as Template:Not done. If you think this should be revived, this could be reopened, but I'd recommend picking just a few of these properties to focus on next time, with some more interesting examples to motivate this.

• Template:Ping I would like to reopen these proposals, since they are indeed needed for around 170 distribution items, and really nobody opposed them (except for probability density function per this discussion). --Tinker Bell ★ ♥ 06:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
• Template:Ping project Template:Ping Your support combined with GZWDer and me seems likely sufficient, but it's been a long time so pinging math participants again ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:09, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
• Template:Support Looks good to me! Bigbossfarin (talk) 15:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
• Template:Support These would be nice to have! One question though: what is the motivation for calling the expected value property "mean of a probability distribution" instead of simply "expected value?" I also think we should consider how we define the variables (parameters) used in in each mathematical expression. — The Erinaceous One 🦔
• Template:Support Same question as above: How to explain the variables? We could use a scheme similar to the one used for Template:P: Create a new property "parameters/symbols of probability distribution" and use the Template:P qualifier on that new property.

• Template:Comment Thanks everybody, I've marked these proposals all as ready. On parameter or variable naming, I would hope that consistent variable names are used across the different formulas for one distribution, so that they need only be defined once (and defining formula and our established rules there could work for that).

  Indeed. Given that the probability density function is given in the Template:P the explanation of variables is solved. Toni 001 (talk) 08:02, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
