Abstract

The concept of a probability distribution is in the core of all modern data-driven modeling, simulation, analytics, inference, prediction, and prognostication of observable natural phenomena. Despite the large number of possible probability distributions and their significant heterogeneity, dozens of distributions are named and well understood, many are interconnected, and all of them span the universe of possible physical processes. This manuscript reports on the probability Distributome, which allows navigation, exploration and learning of many univariate distributions, and facilitate the computation and visualization associated with univariate, bivariate and trivariate probability distributions. We illustrate applications of three specific resources including an HTML5/JavaScript applications (Distributome), RShiny apps and and 3D plotly apps. These resources are freely accessible, open-source, and platform agnostic. Both learners and instructors may utilize, expand, improve, and customize these tools for their specific research and education needs.
