Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks what the Dirichlet distribution is best described as describing.
Option 1: simplexes. The Dirichlet distribution is a distribution over probability vectors whose components are nonnegative and sum to 1; these vectors live on a simplex. Therefore this option correctly captures the geometric domain of the Dirichlet distribution.
Option 2: numbers between 0 and 1. While the components of a Dirichlet-distributed vector are each in [0,1], the distribution is not simply a distribution over individual numbers in that interval; it concerns a whole vector that must sum to 1, so this description is incomplete and misleading.
Option 3: vectors. Although the Dirichlet distribution assigns probability to vectors, the crucial constraint is that the vectors lie on a simplex (the components sum to 1). Merely saying 'vectors' misses the key simplex constraint and can be interpreted too broadly.
Option 4: all real numbers. This is incorrect because the Dirichlet distribution is defined for nonnegative components that sum to 1, not for arbitrary real-valued components.
In summary, the Dirichlet distribution characterizes a probability distribution over probability vectors that reside on a simplex, making 'simplexes' the most accurate choice among the options.
