  2. 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 [2] [3] = ().

  3. Multivariate normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_normal...

    The probability content of the multivariate normal in a quadratic domain defined by () = ′ + ′ + > (where is a matrix, is a vector, and is a scalar), which is relevant for Bayesian classification/decision theory using Gaussian discriminant analysis, is given by the generalized chi-squared distribution. [17]

  4. Gaussian function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_function

    In statistics and probability theory, Gaussian functions appear as the density function of the normal distribution, which is a limiting probability distribution of complicated sums, according to the central limit theorem.

  5. Sum of normally distributed random variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_normally...

    It is possible to have variables X and Y which are individually normally distributed, but have a more complicated joint distribution. In that instance, X + Y may of course have a complicated, non-normal distribution. In some cases, this situation can be treated using copulas.

  6. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability...

    The normal distribution, also called the Gaussian or the bell curve. It is ubiquitous in nature and statistics due to the central limit theorem : every variable that can be modelled as a sum of many small independent, identically distributed variables with finite mean and variance is approximately normal.

  7. Generalized normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Generalized_normal_distribution

    The generalized normal distribution (GND) or generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) is either of two families of parametric continuous probability distributions on the real line. Both families add a shape parameter to the normal distribution. To distinguish the two families, they are referred to below as "symmetric" and "asymmetric"; however ...

    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 ...
