  2. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    In probability theory, a log-normal (or lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. Thus, if the random variable X is log-normally distributed, then Y = ln( X ) has a normal distribution.

  3. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The Ewens's sampling formula is a probability distribution on the set of all partitions of an integer n, arising in population genetics. The Balding–Nichols model; The multinomial distribution, a generalization of the binomial distribution. The multivariate normal distribution, a generalization of the normal distribution.

  4. Normal probability plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_probability_plot

    Normal probability plots are made of raw data, residuals from model fits, and estimated parameters. A normal probability plot. In a normal probability plot (also called a "normal plot"), the sorted data are plotted vs. values selected to make the resulting image look close to a straight line if the data are approximately normally distributed.

  5. Logarithmic distribution - Wikipedia

    where B is the incomplete beta function. A Poisson compounded with Log( p )-distributed random variables has a negative binomial distribution . In other words, if N is a random variable with a Poisson distribution , and X i , i = 1, 2, 3, ... is an infinite sequence of independent identically distributed random variables each having a Log( p ...

  6. Normality test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normality_test

    A graphical tool for assessing normality is the normal probability plot, a quantile-quantile plot (QQ plot) of the standardized data against the standard normal distribution. Here the correlation between the sample data and normal quantiles (a measure of the goodness of fit) measures how well the data are modeled by a normal distribution. For ...

  7. Probit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probit

    Plot of probit function. In probability theory and statistics, the probit function is the quantile function associated with the standard normal distribution.It has applications in data analysis and machine learning, in particular exploratory statistical graphics and specialized regression modeling of binary response variables.

  8. Standard normal table - Wikipedia

    gives a probability that a statistic is between 0 (mean) and Z. Example: Prob(0 ≤ Z ≤ 0.69) = 0.2549. Cumulative gives a probability that a statistic is less than Z. This equates to the area of the distribution below Z. Example: Prob(Z ≤ 0.69) = 0.7549. Complementary cumulative gives a probability that a statistic is greater than Z.

  9. Shape of a probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_a_probability...

    In statistics, the concept of the shape of a probability distribution arises in questions of finding an appropriate distribution to use to model the statistical properties of a population, given a sample from that population.
