Cauchy distribution
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-004382
A continuous probability density distribution which models resonance behavior. It is also known as the Lorentz distribution. Its shape is dependent on a location parameter, which specifies the peak of the curve, and a scale parameter which specifies the half-width at half-maximum.
