The PPCC plot is formed by: Vertical axis: Probability plot correlation coefficient; Horizontal axis: Value of shape parameter. That is, for a series of values of the shape parameter, the correlation coefficient is computed for the probability plot associated with a given value of the shape parameter. These correlation coefficients are plotted ...
The first two population distribution parameters and are usually characterized as location and scale parameters, while the remaining parameter(s), if any, are characterized as shape parameters, e.g. skewness and kurtosis parameters, although the model may be applied more generally to the parameters of any population distribution with up to four ...
A Pearson density p is defined to be any valid solution to the differential equation (cf. Pearson 1895, p. 381) ′ () + + + + = ()with: =, = = +, =. According to Ord, [3] Pearson devised the underlying form of Equation (1) on the basis of, firstly, the formula for the derivative of the logarithm of the density function of the normal distribution (which gives a linear function) and, secondly ...
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 ...
The Tukey lambda distribution has a single shape parameter, λ, and as with other probability distributions, it can be transformed with a location parameter, μ, and a scale parameter, σ. Since the general form of probability distribution can be expressed in terms of the standard distribution, the subsequent formulas are given for the standard ...
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 ...
The following shows how to implement a location–scale family in a statistical package or programming environment where only functions for the "standard" version of a distribution are available. It is designed for R but should generalize to any language and library.
