  2. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    All these extensions are also called normal or Gaussian laws, so a certain ambiguity in names exists. The multivariate normal distribution describes the Gaussian law in the k-dimensional Euclidean space. A vector X ∈ R k is multivariate-normally distributed if any linear combination of its components Σ k j=1 a j X j has a (univariate) normal ...

  3. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    The exponentially modified Gaussian distribution, a convolution of a normal distribution with an exponential distribution, and the Gaussian minus exponential distribution, a convolution of a normal distribution with the negative of an exponential distribution. The expectile distribution, which nests the Gaussian distribution in the symmetric case.

  4. Multivariate normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_normal...

    This case arises frequently in statistics; for example, in the distribution of the vector of residuals in the ordinary least squares regression. The X i {\displaystyle X_{i}} are in general not independent; they can be seen as the result of applying the matrix A {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {A}}} to a collection of independent Gaussian variables ...

  5. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Gaussian functions are used to define some types of artificial neural networks. In fluorescence microscopy a 2D Gaussian function is used to approximate the Airy disk, describing the intensity distribution produced by a point source.

    See here for an example.) ... This is the characteristic function of the normal distribution with ... It can be shown that the Fourier transform of a Gaussian, ...

  7. Gaussian process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_process

    In probability theory and statistics, a Gaussian process is a stochastic process (a collection of random variables indexed by time or space), such that every finite collection of those random variables has a multivariate normal distribution. The distribution of a Gaussian process is the joint distribution of all those (infinitely many) random ...

  8. Generalized normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Generalized_normal_distribution

    The generalized normal distribution (GND) or generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) is either of two families of parametric continuous probability distributions on the real line. Both families add a shape parameter to the normal distribution. To distinguish the two families, they are referred to below as "symmetric" and "asymmetric"; however ...

  9. Matrix normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_normal_distribution

    The probability density function for the random matrix X (n × p) that follows the matrix normal distribution , (,,) has the form: (,,) = ⁡ ([() ()]) / | | / | | /where denotes trace and M is n × p, U is n × n and V is p × p, and the density is understood as the probability density function with respect to the standard Lebesgue measure in , i.e.: the measure corresponding to integration ...
