  2. Multivariate normal distribution - Wikipedia

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

    If () is a general scalar-valued function of a normal vector, its probability density function, cumulative distribution function, and inverse cumulative distribution function can be computed with the numerical method of ray-tracing (Matlab code).

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when μ = 0 {\textstyle \mu =0} and σ 2 = 1 {\textstyle \sigma ^{2}=1} , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): φ ( z ) = e − z 2 2 2 π . {\displaystyle \varphi (z ...

  4. Box–Muller transform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box–Muller_transform

    The plots at the margins are the probability distribution functions of z0 and z1. z0 and z1 are unbounded; they appear to be in [−2.5, 2.5] due to the choice of the illustrated points. In the SVG file , hover over a point to highlight it and its corresponding point.

  5. Truncated normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_normal_distribution

    In probability and statistics, the truncated normal distribution is the probability distribution derived from that of a normally distributed random variable by bounding the random variable from either below or above (or both). The truncated normal distribution has wide applications in statistics and econometrics.

  6. Inverse transform sampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_transform_sampling

    Inverse transform sampling (also known as inversion sampling, the inverse probability integral transform, the inverse transformation method, or the Smirnov transform) is a basic method for pseudo-random number sampling, i.e., for generating sample numbers at random from any probability distribution given its cumulative distribution function.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Wrapped normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrapped_normal_distribution

    In probability theory and directional statistics, a wrapped normal distribution is a wrapped probability distribution that results from the "wrapping" of the normal distribution around the unit circle. It finds application in the theory of Brownian motion and is a solution to the heat equation for periodic boundary conditions.

  9. 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.
