  2. Pareto distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution

    The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian civil engineer, economist, and sociologist Vilfredo Pareto, [2] is a power-law probability distribution that is used in description of social, quality control, scientific, geophysical, actuarial, and many other types of observable phenomena; the principle originally applied to describing the distribution of wealth in a society, fitting the trend ...

  3. Generalized Pareto distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_Pareto...

    In statistics, the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is a family of continuous probability distributions. It is often used to model the tails of another ...

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

    The Dirac delta function, although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 0 — a degenerate distribution — it is a Distribution (mathematics) in the generalized function sense; but the notation treats it as if it ...

  5. Relationships among probability distributions - Wikipedia

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

    Examples: If X 1 and X 2 are independent geometric random variables with probability of success p 1 and p 2 respectively, then min(X 1, X 2) is a geometric random variable with probability of success p = p 1 + p 2 − p 1 p 2. The relationship is simpler if expressed in terms probability of failure: q = q 1 q 2.

  6. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, a normal distribution or Gaussian distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a real-valued random variable. The general form of its probability density function is [ 2 ] [ 3 ] f ( x ) = 1 2 π σ 2 e − ( x − μ ) 2 2 σ 2 . {\displaystyle f(x)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2\pi \sigma ^{2 ...

  7. Distribution of the product of two random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_the...

    A product distribution is a probability distribution constructed as the distribution of the product of random variables having two other known distributions. Given two statistically independent random variables X and Y, the distribution of the random variable Z that is formed as the product = is a product distribution.

  8. Self-similar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similar_process

    One example of a heavy-tailed distribution is the Pareto distribution. Examples of processes that can be described using heavy-tailed distributions include traffic processes, such as packet inter-arrival times and burst lengths.

  9. Lomax distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lomax_distribution

    The Lomax distribution, conditionally also called the Pareto Type II distribution, is a heavy-tail probability distribution used in business, economics, actuarial science, queueing theory and Internet traffic modeling. [1] [2] [3] It is named after K. S. Lomax.
