In machine learning, Platt scaling or Platt calibration is a way of transforming the outputs of a classification model into a probability distribution over classes.The method was invented by John Platt in the context of support vector machines, [1] replacing an earlier method by Vapnik, but can be applied to other classification models.

Animation showing the effects of a scale parameter on a probability distribution supported on the positive real line. Effect of a scale parameter over a mixture of two normal probability distributions. If the probability density exists for all values of the complete parameter set, then the density (as a function of the scale parameter only ...
In decision theory, if all alternative distributions available to a decision-maker are in the same location–scale family, and the first two moments are finite, then a two-moment decision model can apply, and decision-making can be framed in terms of the means and the variances of the distributions.

In statistics, the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) is a family of continuous probability distributions. It is often used to model the tails of another distribution. It is specified by three parameters: location , scale , and shape .
The probability density function is (,) = ((+)) (),where I 0 (z) is the modified Bessel function of the first kind with order zero.. In the context of Rician fading, the distribution is often also rewritten using the Shape Parameter =, defined as the ratio of the power contributions by line-of-sight path to the remaining multipaths, and the Scale parameter = +, defined as the total power ...
If the symmetry of the distribution is the main interest, the skew normal family or asymmetric version of the generalized normal family discussed below can be used. If the tail behavior is the main interest, the student t family can be used, which approximates the normal distribution as the degrees of freedom grows to infinity.

The Gompertz distribution is a flexible distribution that can be skewed to the right and to the left. Its hazard function = is a convex function of (;,).The model can be fitted into the innovation-imitation paradigm with = as the coefficient of innovation and as the coefficient of imitation.
