AbstractGiven a rectangle containing uniformly distributed random points, how far are the points from the rectangle’s centre? In this paper we provide closed-form expressions for the cumulative distribution function and probability density function that characterise the distance. An expression for the average distance to the centre of the rectangle is also provided.

General Properties

We look at the issue of obtaining a variance like measure associated with probability distributions over ordinal sets. We call these dissonance measures. We specify some general properties desired in these dissonance measures. The centrality of the cumulative distribution function in formulating the concept of dissonance is pointed out. We introduce some specific examples of measures of dissonance.
