Infinitely Divisible Distribution


An infinitely divisible distribution on Euclidean space R^d is a statistical distribution that, for every positive integer n, is the statistical distribution of a sum of n independent and identically distributed random vectors in R^d. The common statistical distribution of the summands may depend on n (Winkel 2010, p. 5).
