Question

The Ziggurat algorithm can also be used to create sample values from one of these distributions. Flow based generative models use the KL divergence with respect to this distribution as a loss function. The Box-Muller transform generates pairs of random numbers with this distribution. Out of the probability distributions with a specified mean and variance, (*) this distribution results in maximum entropy. When performing a Fourier transform on this distribution, (10[2])the resulting distribution is also one of these distributions. For a large number of independent continuous variables, the distribution of variables approaches this type of distribution by the (10[1])central (10[1])limit theorem. For 10 points, name this continuous statistical distribution, also known as a bell curve. ■END■
