  2. Exponential distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution or negative exponential distribution is the probability distribution of the distance between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate; the distance parameter could be any meaningful mono-dimensional measure of the process, such as time ...

  3. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    The Dagum distribution; The exponential distribution, which describes the time between consecutive rare random events in a process with no memory. The exponential-logarithmic distribution; The F-distribution, which is the distribution of the ratio of two (normalized) chi-squared-distributed random variables, used in the analysis of variance.

  4. Relationships among probability distributions - Wikipedia

    A Weibull distribution with shape parameter k = 1 and rate parameter β is an exponential distribution with rate parameter β. A beta distribution with shape parameters α = β = 1 is a continuous uniform distribution over the real numbers 0 to 1.

  6. Natural exponential family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_exponential_family

    For example, the Bernoulli distribution is a binomial distribution with n = 1 trial, the exponential distribution is a gamma distribution with shape parameter α = 1 (or k = 1 ), and the geometric distribution is a special case of the negative binomial distribution. Some exponential family distributions are not NEF. The lognormal and Beta ...

  7. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  8. Exponential family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_family

    The terms "distribution" and "family" are often used loosely: Specifically, an exponential family is a set of distributions, where the specific distribution varies with the parameter; [a] however, a parametric family of distributions is often referred to as "a distribution" (like "the normal distribution", meaning "the family of normal distributions"), and the set of all exponential families ...

  9. Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral

    Complex exponential function: The exponential function exactly maps all lines not parallel with the real or imaginary axis in the complex plane, to all logarithmic spirals in the complex plane with centre at : () = (+) + ⏟ = + = (⁡ + ⁡) ⏟ The pitch angle of the logarithmic spiral is the angle between the line and the imaginary axis.
