Half-Cauchy distribution by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
The absolute value of a centered Cauchy distribution variable with scale has this probability density function. Its positive support and doubled density distinguish it from the two-sided distribution. Its unit-scale case arises as the ratio of two independent, equally scaled half-normal distribution variables.
