And the smooth mollification will look like...?
- pxx 2y agoin the simplest case... just mirror it (some call this a Laplace distribution). if you don't like how it's not differentiable at the mode there are further smoothings (see, e.g., the wikipedia article for this distribution) but this simple construction is continuous.
- canjobear 2y agoIt looks like a spike, not a bell.
- cycomanic 2y agoA spike is not smooth (typically meaning continuous in the variable and its first derivative), which was one of the conditions.
- timy2shoes 2y agoThen take a Cauchy or a t-distribution. Basically anything with a longer tail than exp(x^2). The Gaussian summary will be misleading because of the tails.
