Univariate distribution

In statistics, a univariate distribution is a probability distribution of only one random variable. This is in contrast to a multivariate distribution, the probability distribution of a random vector (consisting of multiple random variables). Univariate distributions can be characterized by their probability mass function for discrete variables, probability density function for continuous variables, or their cumulative distribution function, which applies to all types of random variables.
