Distribution Explorer

Summary:

The aim of this project is to give people (mostly myself) an intuitive understanding of how different probability distributions work, and how their parameters change the behavior of the distribution. It was my first ever React app and is available at https://latticeanimal.com/distributionexplorer/.

Supported Distributions:

1. Gaussian
2. Burr
3. Inverse Burr
4. Pareto
5. Fisk
6. Generalized Pareto
7. Weibull
8. Exponential
9. Poisson

Features:

1. Edit the appropriate parameters of each distribution
2. Receive errors if those parameters are not valid (ex: some require x is greater than 2*y or similar)
3. Display a graph of the cummulative distribution function (CDF)
4. Latex formatted equation of the CDF
5. Ability to sample the distribution for your own uses

Todo:

2. Support discrete distributions
3. Show PDF graph (probability distribution function)
