The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.

hyperdistribution

A sense in statistics looks includable. DTLHS (talk) 01:25, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

For the sense of media being available on a network in a widely dispersed distributed form: [1], [2] (the term occurs only in the title of the Master’s Thesis), [3]. The sense as currently given may be too specific.  --Lambiam 07:20, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

More precisely, everyone defines or uses the term differently, with little commonality.  --Lambiam 07:48, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

The term does not occur in the Encyclopedia of Mathematics. Different authors use the term for different mathematical concepts, such as a generalization of the mathematical (not statistical) concept of distribution, currently not even listed as a sense here at Wiktionary. There does not appear to be a single commonly understood mathematical sense.  --Lambiam 07:43, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I have added two missing senses (the statistical sense mentioned by DTLHS, plus a sense of distribution on a massive scale). The original definition looks like an overly-specific case of this latter meaning, and I could not find cites that support it. Kiwima (talk) 23:38, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
