Limiting Behavior
In the limit of large κ the distribution becomes a normal distribution
where σ2 = 1/κ. In the limit of small κ it becomes a uniform distribution:
where the interval for the uniform distribution U(x) is the chosen interval of length 2π.

Famous quotes containing the words limiting and/or behavior:
“There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.”
—Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
“Temperament is the natural, inborn style of behavior of each individual. It’s the how of behavior, not the why.... The question is not, “Why does he behave a certain way if he doesn’t get a cookie?” but rather, “When he doesn’t get a cookie, how does he express his displeasure...?” The environment—and your behavior as a parent—can influence temperament and interplay with it, but it is not the cause of temperamental characteristics.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
