  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. Exponential family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_family

    In probability and statistics, an exponential family is a parametric set of probability distributions of a certain form, specified below. This special form is chosen for mathematical convenience, including the enabling of the user to calculate expectations, covariances using differentiation based on some useful algebraic properties, as well as for generality, as exponential families are in a ...

  5. Relationships among probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationships_among...

    The square of a standard normal random variable has a chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom. If X is a Student’s t random variable with ν degree of freedom, then X 2 is an F (1,ν) random variable. If X is a double exponential random variable with mean 0 and scale λ, then |X| is an exponential random variable with mean λ.

  8. Cumulative distribution function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution...

    Cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution Cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution. In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a real-valued random variable, or just distribution function of , evaluated at , is the probability that will take a value less than or equal to .

  9. Power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    This distribution is a common alternative to the asymptotic power-law distribution because it naturally captures finite-size effects. The Tweedie distributions are a family of statistical models characterized by closure under additive and reproductive convolution as well as under scale transformation. Consequently, these models all express a ...
