Derived Statistical Distributions

Derived distributions are modifications to existing distributions. There is a variety of ways in which you can arrive at modified distributions, including functions of random variables, weighted mixtures of distributions, truncated or censored distributions, marginals from higher-dimensional distributions, or joining marginals to a dependency kernel, as in copulas. Derived distributions behave just like any other distribution in the Wolfram Language. You can compute several dozen properties, including distribution functions or probabilities of events, or generate random variates from them.

Functions of Random Variables

TransformedDistribution distribution of a function of a random variable

OrderDistribution distribution of order statistics
