The equidensity contours of a non-singular multivariate normal distribution are ellipsoids (i.e. affine transformations of hyperspheres) centered at the mean. [29] Hence the multivariate normal distribution is an example of the class of elliptical distributions.
The above transformation meets this because Z can be mapped directly back to V, and for a given V the quotient U/V is monotonic. This is similarly the case for the sum U + V, difference U − V and product UV. Exactly the same method can be used to compute the distribution of other functions of multiple independent random variables.
This is the characteristic function of the standard Cauchy distribution: thus, the sample mean has the same distribution as the population itself. As a further example, suppose X follows a Gaussian distribution i.e. X ∼ N ( μ , σ 2 ) {\displaystyle X\sim {\mathcal {N}}(\mu ,\sigma ^{2})} .
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.

Gaussian processes are useful in statistical modelling, benefiting from properties inherited from the normal distribution. For example, if a random process is modelled as a Gaussian process, the distributions of various derived quantities can be obtained explicitly.
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 ...
The Johnson's S U-distribution is a four-parameter family of probability distributions first investigated by N. L. Johnson in 1949. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Johnson proposed it as a transformation of the normal distribution : [ 1 ]
