Continuous Variable: can take on any value between two specified values. Obtained by measuring. Discrete Variable: not continuous variable (cannot take on any value between two specified values).

We consider the problem of estimating the quantiles of a one-parameter exponential distribution. Using the estimated quantiles to predict the distribution function, and attempting to minimize mean ...

We consider repeated independent sampling from one member of an exponential family of probability distributions. The probability that the sample mean of n such observations falls into some set S n is, ...
