  2. Hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergeometric_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the hypergeometric distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the probability of successes (random draws for which the object drawn has a specified feature) in draws, without replacement, from a finite population of size that contains exactly objects with that feature, wherein each draw is either a success or a failure.

  3. Negative hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_hypergeometric...

    In probability theory and statistics, the negative hypergeometric distribution describes probabilities for when sampling from a finite population without replacement in which each sample can be classified into two mutually exclusive categories like Pass/Fail or Employed/Unemployed. As random selections are made from the population, each ...

  4. Noncentral hypergeometric distributions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_hypergeometric...

    The probability distribution of employed versus unemployed respondents in a sample of n respondents can be described as a noncentral hypergeometric distribution. The description of biased urn models is complicated by the fact that there is more than one noncentral hypergeometric distribution. Which distribution one gets depends on whether items ...

  5. Potential of mean force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_of_mean_force

    The PMF can be obtained in Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics simulations to examine how a system's energy changes as a function of some specific reaction coordinate parameter. For example, it may examine how the system's energy changes as a function of the distance between two residues, or as a protein is pulled through a lipid bilayer.

  6. Fisher's noncentral hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher's_noncentral...

    The univariate noncentral hypergeometric distribution may be derived alternatively as a conditional distribution in the context of two binomially distributed random variables, for example when considering the response to a particular treatment in two different groups of patients participating in a clinical trial.

  7. Wallenius' noncentral hypergeometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallenius'_noncentral...

    Probability mass function for Wallenius' Noncentral Hypergeometric Distribution for different values of the odds ratio ω. m 1 = 80, m 2 = 60, n = 100, ω = 0.1 ... 20. In probability theory and statistics, Wallenius' noncentral hypergeometric distribution (named after Kenneth Ted Wallenius) is a generalization of the hypergeometric distribution where items are sampled with bias.

  8. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

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

    The shifted Gompertz distribution; The type-2 Gumbel distribution; The Weibull distribution or Rosin Rammler distribution, of which the exponential distribution is a special case, is used to model the lifetime of technical devices and is used to describe the particle size distribution of particles generated by grinding, milling and crushing ...

  9. Geometric distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_distribution

    The geometric distribution is the discrete probability distribution that describes when the first success in an infinite sequence of independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials occurs. Its probability mass function depends on its parameterization and support.
