  2. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    Specifically, if the mass-density at time t=0 is given by a Dirac delta, which essentially means that the mass is initially concentrated in a single point, then the mass-distribution at time t will be given by a Gaussian function, with the parameter a being linearly related to 1/ √ t and c being linearly related to √ t; this time-varying ...

  3. 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 f ( x ) = 1 2 π σ 2 e − ( x − μ ) 2 2 σ 2 . {\displaystyle f(x)={\frac {1}{\sqrt {2\pi \sigma ^{2}}}}e^{-{\frac ...

    The Bates distribution is the distribution of the mean of n independent random variables, each of which having the uniform distribution on [0,1]. The logit-normal distribution on (0,1). The Dirac delta function , although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions.

    Complex normal distribution, an application of bivariate normal distribution; Copula, for the definition of the Gaussian or normal copula model. Multivariate t-distribution, which is another widely used spherically symmetric multivariate distribution.

  6. Matrix normal distribution - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  7. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    This process is used in analytical chemistry to determine the composition of a mixture of the components of known molar absorptivity spectra. For example, if the heights of two lines are found to be h 1 and h 2, c 1 = h 1 / ε 1 and c 2 = h 2 / ε 2. [13] Parameters of the line shape are unknown.

  8. Generalized normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Generalized_normal_distribution

    So there is no strong reason to prefer the "generalized" normal distribution of type 1, e.g. over a combination of Student-t and a normalized extended Irwin–Hall – this would include e.g. the triangular distribution (which cannot be modeled by the generalized Gaussian type 1). A symmetric distribution which can model both tail (long and ...

  9. Normalizing constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalizing_constant

    For example, a Gaussian function can be normalized into a probability density function, which gives the standard normal distribution. In Bayes' theorem, a normalizing constant is used to ensure that the sum of all possible hypotheses equals 1.
