A histogram is a visual representation of the distribution of quantitative data. To construct a histogram, the first step is to "bin" (or "bucket") the range of values— divide the entire range of values into a series of intervals—and then count how many values fall into each interval.
Histogram of 10,000 samples from a Gamma(2,2) distribution. Number of bins suggested by Scott's rule is 61, Doane's rule 21, and Sturges's rule 15. Sturges's rule is not based on any sort of optimisation procedure, like the Freedman–Diaconis rule or Scott's rule. It is simply posited based on the approximation of a normal curve by a binomial ...

Given a known joint distribution of two discrete random variables, say, X and Y, the marginal distribution of either variable – X for example – is the probability distribution of X when the values of Y are not taken into consideration. This can be calculated by summing the joint probability distribution over all values of Y.
Hoyt distribution, the pdf of the vector length of a bivariate normally distributed vector (correlated and centered) Complex normal distribution , an application of bivariate normal distribution Copula , for the definition of the Gaussian or normal copula model.
When the smaller values tend to be farther away from the mean than the larger values, one has a skew distribution to the left (i.e. there is negative skewness), one may for example select the square-normal distribution (i.e. the normal distribution applied to the square of the data values), [1] the inverted (mirrored) Gumbel distribution, [1 ...
The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include: mounded (or unimodal), U-shaped, J-shaped, reverse-J shaped and multi-modal. [1] A bimodal distribution would have two high points rather than one. The shape of a distribution is ...
