  2. Gaussian integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_integral

    A different technique, which goes back to Laplace (1812), [3] is the following. Let = =. Since the limits on s as y → ±∞ depend on the sign of x, it simplifies the calculation to use the fact that e −x 2 is an even function, and, therefore, the integral over all real numbers is just twice the integral from zero to infinity.

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    The simplest case of a normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution or unit normal distribution. This is a special case when μ = 0 {\textstyle \mu =0} and σ 2 = 1 {\textstyle \sigma ^{2}=1} , and it is described by this probability density function (or density): φ ( z ) = e − z 2 2 2 π . {\displaystyle \varphi (z ...

  4. Line integral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_integral

    A line integral of a scalar field is thus a line integral of a vector field, where the vectors are always tangential to the line of the integration. Line integrals of vector fields are independent of the parametrization r in absolute value, but they do depend on its orientation. Specifically, a reversal in the orientation of the parametrization ...

  5. Shape of a probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_a_probability...

    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 ...

  6. Laplace's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplace's_method

    In the generalization, evaluation of the integral is considered equivalent to finding the norm of the distribution with density e M f ( x ) . {\displaystyle e^{Mf(x)}.} Denoting the cumulative distribution F ( x ) {\displaystyle F(x)} , if there is a diffeomorphic Gaussian distribution with density

  7. Distribution (differential geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_(differential...

    A distribution is called integrable if through any point there is an integral manifold. The base spaces of the bundle Δ ⊂ T M {\displaystyle \Delta \subset TM} are thus disjoint, maximal , connected integral manifolds, also called leaves ; that is, Δ {\displaystyle \Delta } defines an n-dimensional foliation of M {\displaystyle M} .

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

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

    The distribution of the product of correlated non-central normal samples was derived by Cui et al. [11] and takes the form of an infinite series of modified Bessel functions of the first kind. Moments of product of correlated central normal samples. For a central normal distribution N(0,1) the moments are

  9. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    In this context, the log-normal distribution has shown a good performance in two main use cases: (1) predicting the proportion of time traffic will exceed a given level (for service level agreement or link capacity estimation) i.e. link dimensioning based on bandwidth provisioning and (2) predicting 95th percentile pricing.
