Uniform Distribution
The Uniform distribution is useful for defining quantities that vary uniformly between two values. You enter a Minimum and a Maximum:
You can also specify that rather than the values being uniformly distributed, the logarithms of the values are uniformly distributed (by checking the Log box). In this case, the Minimum and Maximum must be positive values. Log-Uniform distributions are often applied to quantities with large (order-of-magnitude) uncertainties.
