Differences around zero is actually preferred: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/UniformDifferenceDistribution.html https://mathworld.wolfram.com/UniformDifferenceDistribution....
- tgb 4y agoThat’s only the case if there are only two articles. In general you’d be looking at the difference of two order statistics (of the uniform distribution). You could probably approximate this quite well as a Poisson process though (since there are so many articles) and so have exponentially distributed gap size.
