Probability Distributions of Univariate Data
The clustering algorithms in Chapters 8 through 10 can be applied to data with one or more attribute variables. If there is only one attribute variable, we have univariate data. For univariate data, the probability distribution of data points captures not only clusters of data points but also many other characteristics concerning the distribution of data points. Many specific data patterns of univariate data can be identified through their corresponding types of probability distribution. This chapter introduces the concept and characteristics of the probability distribution and the use of the probability distribution characteristics to identify certain univariate data patterns.
