  2. Log-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution

    In probability theory, a log-normal (or lognormal) distribution is a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed.Thus, if the random variable X is log-normally distributed, then Y = ln(X) has a normal distribution.

  3. Logit-normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logit-normal_distribution

    In probability theory, a logit-normal distribution is a probability distribution of a random variable whose logit has a normal distribution.If Y is a random variable with a normal distribution, and t is the standard logistic function, then X = t(Y) has a logit-normal distribution; likewise, if X is logit-normally distributed, then Y = logit(X)= log (X/(1-X)) is normally distributed.

  4. Logarithmic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_distribution

    where B is the incomplete beta function. A Poisson compounded with Log( p )-distributed random variables has a negative binomial distribution . In other words, if N is a random variable with a Poisson distribution , and X i , i = 1, 2, 3, ... is an infinite sequence of independent identically distributed random variables each having a Log( p ...

  5. Normal probability plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_probability_plot

    Normal probability plots are made of raw data, residuals from model fits, and estimated parameters. A normal probability plot. In a normal probability plot (also called a "normal plot"), the sorted data are plotted vs. values selected to make the resulting image look close to a straight line if the data are approximately normally distributed.

  6. List of probability distributions - Wikipedia

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

    The Dirac delta function, although not strictly a probability distribution, is a limiting form of many continuous probability functions. It represents a discrete probability distribution concentrated at 0 — a degenerate distribution — it is a Distribution (mathematics) in the generalized function sense; but the notation treats it as if it ...

  7. Log-logistic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-logistic_distribution

    In probability and statistics, the log-logistic distribution (known as the Fisk distribution in economics) is a continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. It is used in survival analysis as a parametric model for events whose rate increases initially and decreases later, as, for example, mortality rate from cancer ...

  8. Logit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logit

    If p is a probability, then p/(1 − p) is the corresponding odds; the logit of the probability is the logarithm of the odds, i.e.: ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ ⁡ = ⁡ = ⁡ (). The base of the logarithm function used is of little importance in the present article, as long as it is greater than 1, but the natural logarithm with base e is the one most often used.

  9. Logistic distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_distribution

    In probability theory and statistics, the logistic distribution is a continuous probability distribution. Its cumulative distribution function is the logistic function, which appears in logistic regression and feedforward neural networks. It resembles the normal distribution in shape but has heavier tails (higher kurtosis).
