Abstract: Abstract Specification of the distributions of random variables is important for the formulation of mathematical models explained in the next two chapters and in the application of probabilistic methods treated in chapters 7, 8 and 9. For instance, the preservation of extreme values and other properties, explained in chapters 5 and 6, in a realistic manner is dependent on the appropriate choice of probability functions.
