Probability Density Function
The Dirichlet distribution of order K ≥ 2 with parameters α1, ..., αK > 0 has a probability density function with respect to Lebesgue measure on the Euclidean space RK-1 given by
for all x1, ..., xK–1 > 0 satisfying x1 + ... + xK–1 < 1, and where xK = 1 – x1 – ... – xK–1. The density is zero outside this open (K − 1)-dimensional simplex.
The normalizing constant is the multinomial Beta function, which can be expressed in terms of the gamma function:

Famous quotes containing the words probability and/or function:
“Only in Britain could it be thought a defect to be “too clever by half.” The probability is that too many people are too stupid by three-quarters.”
—John Major (b. 1943)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (1904–1994)
