Library "DistributionTest"
Comprehensive statistical distribution library for quantitative finance and trading applications.
Provides complete statistical functions including PDF, CDF, quantile (inverse CDF), survival functions, random sampling, and moment calculations for essential probability distributions.

All code has been verified (using AI) against authoritative mathematical sources, including:
- Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org
- Wolfram MathWorld: mathworld.wolfram.com
- All formulas have been cross-validated for mathematical accuracy.
See: Distributions.UTests [Kabua] for extensive unit tests covering all functions and edge cases.

Supported Distributions:

• Normal: Gaussian distribution with mean (μ) and standard deviation (σ) - Foundation of MPT, CAPM, and traditional risk models (assumptions often violated by fat tails)
  
• Uniform: Continuous uniform distribution over [min, max] interval - Essential for Monte Carlo simulations and random sampling in trading systems
  
• Triangular: Triangular distribution with min, max, and mode parameters - Expert judgment modeling with optimistic/pessimistic/most likely scenarios
  
• Beta: Beta distribution with shape parameters α and β over [0,1] interval - Bayesian finance, mean reversion modeling, and proportion parameters (hit rates, portfolio weights)
  
• Log-Normal: Log-normal distribution for positive values (stock prices, volatility) - Black-Scholes options pricing foundation, ensures non-negative asset prices
  
• Student's t: Heavy-tailed distribution with degrees of freedom parameter - Heavy-tail VaR calculations, superior for extreme risk at >98.5% confidence levels
  
• Laplace: Double exponential distribution with location and scale parameters - Volatility modeling with sharp peaks and heavy tails for market regime changes
  
• Exponential: Exponential distribution for time-to-event modeling - Time-to-event modeling for trade duration and market microstructure analysis
  
• Gamma: Gamma distribution for extreme values and waiting times - Operational risk, aggregate loss modeling, and flexible skewed phenomena
  

Core Statistical Functions:

• PDF: Probability density function - likelihood of specific values
  
• CDF: Cumulative distribution function - probability of values ≤ x
  
• Quantile: Inverse CDF - critical for Value-at-Risk (VaR) calculations
  
• Survival: Tail probability function - probability of values > x
  
• Sample: Random number generation for Monte Carlo simulations
  
• Moments: Mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis for distribution characterization
  

Object-Oriented Interface:

import Kabua/Distributions/1 as dist

// Risk Management Examples
normal = dist.createNormal(0.0, 0.02)                // 2% daily vol for basic VaR
studentt = dist.createStudentT(5.0)                  // Heavy-tailed returns for stress testing
var_95 = studentt.quantile(0.05)                     // 5% Value-at-Risk threshold
tail_risk = studentt.survival(2.0)                   // P(X > 2.0) extreme event probability

// Options Pricing Examples
lognormal = dist.createLogNormal(0.05, 0.2)          // Stock with 5% drift, 20% vol
stock_price = lognormal.sample(1234)                 // Simulate future stock price
call_prob = lognormal.survival(110.0)                // P(Stock > Strike) for call option

// Monte Carlo Backtesting
uniform = dist.createUniform(0.0, 1.0)               // Random number generation
random_sequence = uniform.sample(1234)               // Randomize trade order

// Expert Judgment Modeling
triangular = dist.createTriangular(0.8, 1.2, 1.0)    // Price target: pessimistic/optimistic/most likely
expected_target = triangular.mean()                  // Expected price target

// Bayesian Analysis
beta = dist.createBeta(8.0, 2.0)                     // Success rate prior (80% hit rate)
hit_rate_sample = beta.sample(1234)                  // Sample hit rate for strategy

// Market Microstructure
exponential = dist.createExponential(0.1)            // Trade arrival rate (10 trades/minute)
time_to_next_trade = exponential.sample(1234)        // Time until next trade

Trading Applications by Use Case:

• Options Pricing: Log-Normal (Black-Scholes foundation)
  
• Risk Management: Student's t (VaR), Normal (traditional), Laplace (regime changes)
  
• Monte Carlo Simulation: Uniform (random generation), Normal (baseline scenarios)
  
• Uncertainty Modeling: Triangular (expert judgment), Beta (Bayesian priors)
  
• Market Microstructure: Exponential (trade timing), Gamma (event clustering)
  
• Portfolio Theory: Normal (MPT), Beta (mean reversion), Log-Normal (growth)
  

Distribution Selection Guide:

• Need non-negative values? → Log-Normal, Exponential, Gamma
  
• Modeling extreme events? → Student's t, Laplace, Gamma
  
• Expert judgment with bounds? → Triangular, Beta
  
• Traditional finance models? → Normal (with caveats)
  
• Random sampling/simulation? → Uniform (foundation)
  
• Time-to-event modeling? → Exponential, Gamma
  
• Bayesian analysis? → Beta, Normal (conjugate priors)
  

Important Limitations:

• Normal Distribution: Severely underestimates tail risk, assumes symmetric returns
  
• Log-Normal: Cannot model negative returns, assumes constant volatility
  
• Student's t: Symmetric (no skewness), infinite variance for low df
  
• Uniform: Unrealistic for actual return modeling, simulation foundation only
  
• Beta: Bounded to [0,1], may need scaling for real-world applications
  
• Triangular: Limited flexibility, requires expert bounds estimation
  
• Laplace: Sharp peak assumption may not fit all return distributions
  
• Exponential: Memoryless property may not reflect market clustering
  
• Gamma: Complex parameterization, may require calibration
