The Cauchy distribution is a special case of the t-distribution with degrees of freedom ν=1; its mean and variance both do not exist, the sample mean does not converge, and the CLT fails here.

UnverifiedThe central limit theorem states that the standardized mean of independent and identically distributed random variables (with finite variance) approaches a standard normal distribution as the number of variables grows large enough, regardless of the type of the original distribution.69% similarUnverified配对 t 检验假设两组差值服从正态分布，适用于样本量较大（通常 n>30）的场景；Wilcoxon 符号秩检验是其非参数替代方案，仅要求差值分布对称67% similarUnverifiedIn robust regression, replacing the likelihood function from Gaussian to a t-distribution is equivalent to reducing the weight of outliers, because the log-likelihood of the t-distribution penalizes extreme values more slowly.66% similarUnverifiedStudent's t-distribution is a heavy-tailed distribution whose tails decay more slowly than the Gaussian distribution, making it more robust to outliers.66% similarUnverifiedWhen α=β=1, the Beta distribution degenerates into a uniform distribution; when α,β<1, it exhibits a U-shape.61% similar
