Uniform Distribution

Shape:

The uniform distribution is a 2-parameter distribution and covers any specified average and standard deviation.  It is represented by a single point with a skewness of zero and kurtosis of 1.8 (excess kurtosis of -1.2) on a skewness-kurtosis plot as shown below:

       

Density Function:

The density function of the uniform distribution is shown below:

       

The equation, parameters and bounds of the density function are:

        

Moments:

The moments of the uniform distribution can be calculated from the parameters as shown below:

       

Properties:

The uniform distribution is a special case of the Beta Distribution.
