	Independent and identically-distributed random variables - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In probability theory, a sequence or other collection of random variables is independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) if each has the same probability distribution as the others and all are mutually independent.
		is particularly common in statistics (sometimes written IID), where observations in a sample are often assumed to be (more-or-less) i.i.d.
		All other things being equal, a sequence of outcomes of spins of a roulette wheel is i.i.d.

	De Finetti's theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The condition of exchangeability is stronger than the assumption of identical distribution of the individual random variables in the sequence, and weaker than the assumption that they are independent and identically distributed.
		De Finetti's theorem states that the probability distribution of any infinite exchangeable sequence of Bernoulli random variables is a "mixture" of the probability distributions of independent and identically distributed sequences of Bernoulli random variables.
		The independence asserted here is conditional independence, i.e., the Bernoulli random variables in the sequence are conditionally independent given the event that p = 2/3, and are conditionally independent given the event that p = 9/10.

		Independent and identically distributed Monte Carlo algorithms for semiparametric linear mixed models.
		This article introduces a new class of independent and identically distributed (iid) Monte Carlo algorithms which can be used for inference in semiparametric linear mixed models under minimal assumptions for the random-effects distribution.
		In group 2, random slopes [[alpha].sub.i, 1] were simulated from a skewed distribution with mean chosen to coincide with the fixed-effects slope [[beta].sub.1] of group 1, whereas random intercepts [[alpha].sub.i, 0] were drawn from a discrete two-point mixture distribution.

	Sampling Theory - SAMPLING DISTRIBUTIONS - CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The central limit theorem states that the sampling distribution of the mean, for any set of independent and identically distributed random variables, will tend towards the normal distribution as the sample size gets larger.
		The central limit theorem is one of the most important theorems in the field of probability as well as statistical inference, as it justifies the use of the normal curve in a wide range of statistical applications, both theoretical and practical.
		The normal approximation to the binomial distribution is a special case of the central limit theorem, where the independent random variables are Bernoulli variables with parameter p.

	Central limit theorem
		Intuitively, they all express the fact that any sum of many independent identically distributed random variable s is approximately normally distributed.
		But, this limit is just the characteristic function of a standard normal distribution, N(0,1), and the central limit theorem follows from the Lévy continuity theorem, which confirms that the convergence of characteristic functions implies convergence in distribution.
		The density of the sum of two or more independent variables is the convolution of their densities (if these densities exist).

		For independent identically distributed magnetic fields and special Anderson models, we compute the density of states using a random walk expansion.
		Independent identically distributed magnetic fields lead to new Anderson type models for which a spectral analysis \cite{Carmona,Cycon,Pastur} has still to be done.
		This is equivalent to taking real-valued random variables $\alpha(n)$ with uniform distribution on $[0,1]$ and to form the independent identically distributed potential $V(n)= 2 \cos(2 \pi \alpha(n))$ which has an absolutely continuous law $4 (2 \pi)^{-1} \sqrt{1-x^2}$.

	Method for generating a correlated sequence of variates with desired marginal distribution for testing a model of a ...
		This method, to be described in more detail subsequently, uses as inputs an independent identically distributed random number stream of uniform marginals and a pair of specified control parameters, and subjects such inputs to a modulo 1 autoregressive scheme that yields a sequence of correlated variates with a uniform marginal distribution.
		More specifically, a random number generator is used to produce a sequence of independent identically distributed variates from which one is chosen to serve as the initial variate or seed in a modulo one autoregressive operation.
		In particular, the innovation variate is constructed to have a desired probability distribution in an interval chosen appropriately to introduce the desired autocorrelation.

	Bootstrap Fit
		The residuals from the fit follow a common distribution, usually assumed to be the normal distribution.
		Residual resampling assumes fixed X values and independent and identically distributed residuals (although the residuals are not assumed to be normally distributed).
		If the bootstrap methods produce substantially different results, this is an indication that the assumptions of fixed X and independent and identically distributed residuals may not be valid.

		Note, however, that the independence assumption, which virtually never occurs for weather and climate variables, can be relaxed (see Dependence Issues).
		Two methods are available for this: the first method is an exploratory technique carried out prior to model estimation and the second method is an assessment of the stability of parameter estimates based on the fitting of models across a range of different thresholds (Coles (2001) (b).
		The asymptotic distribution approximation of maximums and exceedances over a threshold assumes that data are independent and identically distributed (iid), but this is often not the case with real data.

		It demonstrates mathematically the validity of the reliability claimed by conformal predictors when they are applied to independent and identically distributed data, and it confirms experimentally that the accuracy is sufficient for many practical problems.
		Later chapters of the monograph generalize these results from independent and identically distributed data to models called repetitive structures, which originate in the algorithmic theory of randomness and statistical physics.
		The approach is flexible enough to incorporate most existing methods of machine learning, including newer methods such as boosting and support vector machines and older methods such as nearest neighbours and the bootstrap.

		Usually only the Shannon entropy of equilibrium distributions such as a canonical distribution is considered.
		Entropies are considered for arbitrary distributions or physical states, and they describe, e.g., "how fast" non-equilibrium distributions and states "die out" with increasing number of degrees of freedom or increasing number of particles.
		In the particular case of experiments with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) events, Shannon entropy can be shown to play its usual role (Sanov's theorem).
