+# Categorical Distribution

+<audio controls> <source src="../../_static/categorical.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> This browser cannot play the pronunciation audio file for this distribution. </audio>
+
+The Categorical distribution is the most general discrete distribution and is parameterized by a vector $p$ where each element $p_i$ specifies the probabilities of each possible outcome.
