  2. Skew normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_normal_distribution

    The exponentially modified normal distribution is another 3-parameter distribution that is a generalization of the normal distribution to skewed cases. The skew normal still has a normal-like tail in the direction of the skew, with a shorter tail in the other direction; that is, its density is asymptotically proportional to for some positive .

    The Ewens's sampling formula is a probability distribution on the set of all partitions of an integer n, arising in population genetics. The Balding–Nichols model; The multinomial distribution, a generalization of the binomial distribution. The multivariate normal distribution, a generalization of the normal distribution.

  4. Skewness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewness

    Many models assume normal distribution; i.e., data are symmetric about the mean. The normal distribution has a skewness of zero. But in reality, data points may not be perfectly symmetric. So, an understanding of the skewness of the dataset indicates whether deviations from the mean are going to be positive or negative.

  5. Exponentially modified Gaussian distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentially_modified...

    There are three parameters: the mean of the normal distribution (μ), the standard deviation of the normal distribution (σ) and the exponential decay parameter (τ = 1 / λ). The shape K = τ / σ is also sometimes used to characterise the distribution. Depending on the values of the parameters, the distribution may vary in shape from almost ...

  6. 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 ...

  8. Generalized normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Generalized_normal_distribution

    The two generalized normal families described here, like the skew normal family, are parametric families that extends the normal distribution by adding a shape parameter. Due to the central role of the normal distribution in probability and statistics, many distributions can be characterized in terms of their relationship to the normal ...

  9. D'Agostino's K-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Agostino's_K-squared_test

    The sample skewness g 1 and kurtosis g 2 are both asymptotically normal. However, the rate of their convergence to the distribution limit is frustratingly slow, especially for g 2 . For example even with n = 5000 observations the sample kurtosis g 2 has both the skewness and the kurtosis of approximately 0.3, which is not negligible.
