Cauchy distribution

The Cauchy distribution, named after Augustin Cauchy, is a continuous probability distribution. It is also known, especially among physicists, as the Lorentz distribution (after Hendrik Lorentz), Cauchy–Lorentz distribution, Lorentz(ian) function, or Breit–Wigner distribution. The Cauchy distribution is the distribution of the x-intercept of a ray issuing from with a uniformly distributed angle. It is also the distribution of the ratio of two independent normally distributed random variables with mean zero. The Cauchy distribution is often used in statistics as the canonical example of a "pathological" distribution since both its expected value and its variance are undefined (but see below). The Cauchy distribution does not have finite moments of order greater than or equal to one; only fractional absolute moments exist. The Cauchy distribution has no moment generating function. In mathematics, it is closely related to the Poisson kernel, which is the fundamental solution for the Laplace equation in the upper half-plane. It is one of the few distributions that is stable and has a probability density function that can be expressed analytically, the others being the normal distribution and the Lévy distribution.

Cauchy Sequences

Cauchy Sequence In this video, I define one of the most important concepts in analysis: Cauchy sequences. Those are sequences which "crowd" together, without necessarily going to a limit. Later, we'll see what implications they have in analysis. Check out my Sequences Playlist: https://w

Intro to Cauchy Sequences and Cauchy Criterion | Real Analysis

What are Cauchy sequences? We introduce the Cauchy criterion for sequences and discuss its importance. A sequence is Cauchy if and only if it converges. So Cauchy sequences are another way of characterizing convergence without involving the limit. A sequence being Cauchy roughly means that

Uniform Continuity and Cauchy In this video, I answer a really interesting question about continuous functions: If sn is a Cauchy sequence and f is a continuous function, then is f(sn) Cauchy as well? Surprisingly this has to do with uniform continuity. Watch this video to find out why!
