Abstract

Changes in the elderlies depression level result from a large number of small independent factors. Such situations are ubiquitous in applications. In most such cases, due to the Central Limit Theorem, the corresponding distribution is close to Gaussian. For the changes in the elderlies depression level, however, the empirical distribution is far from Gaussian: it is uniform. In this paper, we provide a possible explanation for the emergence of the uniform distribution.
