Support - open or closed?

[edit]

@Mgnbar: In relation to this reversion: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Arcsine_distribution&oldid=1251766937

There are already numerous pages for probability distributions with a non-closed support listed in their article. Those that I have found are: Logit-normal_distribution, Kumaraswamy_distribution, Wrapped_exponential_distribution, Wrapped_Cauchy_distribution, Wrapped_asymmetric_Laplace_distribution, Inverse-chi-squared_distribution, Scaled_inverse_chi-squared_distribution, Dagum_distribution, F-distribution, Fréchet_distribution, Gamma_distribution, Inverse-gamma_distribution, Generalized_gamma_distribution, Hotelling's_T-squared_distribution, Inverse_Gaussian_distribution, Lévy_distribution, Log-Cauchy_distribution, Log-normal_distribution, Nakagami_distribution, Type-2_Gumbel_distribution and Balding–Nichols_model.

Based on this, I propose that my edit of the support being an open interval should re-instated.

Adding to the list Benini_distribution, Burr_distribution, Davis_distribution, Generalized_inverse_Gaussian_distribution, Log-t_distribution, Maxwell–Boltzmann_distribution, ARGUS_distribution and Beta_rectangular_distribution HailSaturn (talk) 12:16, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You gather a lot of evidence that suggests you're right. I was going to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics, whether there's a policy. But Support (mathematics) suggests that your notion of support is sometimes used in probability. So please go ahead and make your edit. And I apologize for wasting our time. :) Mgnbar (talk) 14:05, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
