In probability theory, Gauss's inequality (or the Gauss inequality) gives an upper bound on the probability that a unimodal random variable lies more than any given distance from its mode. Let ''X'' be a unimodal random variable with mode ''m'', and let ''τ'' 2 be the expected value of (''X'' − ''m'')2. (''τ'' 2 can also be expressed as (''μ'' − ''m'')2 + ''σ'' 2, where ''μ'' and ''σ'' are the mean and standard deviation of ''X''.) Then for any positive value of ''k'', : The theorem was first proved by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1823. ==See also== *Vysochanskiï–Petunin inequality, a similar result for the distance from the mean rather than the mode *Chebyshev's inequality, concerns distance from the mean without requiring unimodality 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gauss's inequality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
