Everything about Distributional data analysis
Branch of nonparametric statistics
Distributional data analysis is a branch of nonparametric statistics that is related to functional data analysis. It is concerned with random objects that are probability distributions, i.e., the statistical analysis of samples of random distributions where each atom of a sample is a distribution. One of the main challenges in distributional data analysis is that although the space of probability distributions is a convex space, it is not a vector space. Wikipedia →
