Interfaces IContinuousDistribution

Continuous Univariate Rayleigh distribution. The Rayleigh distribution (pronounced /ˈreɪli/) is a continuous probability distribution. As an example of how it arises, the wind speed will have a Rayleigh distribution if the components of the two-dimensional wind velocity vector are uncorrelated and normally distributed with equal variance. For details about this distribution, see.
