There is a new version of my Distributions of Random Variables Shiny app available. This is a cleaned up modern revision of my original 2013 app series involving random variable probability distributions. The primary change is a switch to ggplot2 from base graphics. I have added this app to my shiny-apps GitHub repository so the source code is available, including a script containing all those pesky plotmath expressions.

The app draws and plots samples from various well known discrete and continuous probability distributions, all of which are available in base R with the single exception of the Pareto distribution. To include this distribution, I used the VGAM package. The plots include an overlay of the formula for the selected probability mass or density function.

Available discrete distributions:

  • Bernoulli
  • Binomial
  • Uniform
  • Geometric
  • Hypergeometric
  • Negative Binomial
  • Poisson

Available continuous distributions:

  • Beta
  • Cauchy
  • Chi-squared
  • Exponential
  • F
  • Gamma
  • Laplace (Double Exponential)
  • Logistic
  • Log-Normal
  • Normal
  • Pareto
  • t
  • Uniform
  • Weibull
