Negative Binomial Distribution
Represents the number of trials needed to achieve a specified number of successes: , where is the success probability and is the desired number of successes.
Uniform Distribution (Discrete)
All outcomes are equally likely in a finite sample space: , where n is the number of outcomes.
Pascal Distribution
Another name for the Negative Binomial Distribution when focusing on the number of unsuccessful trials before a specified number of successes occurs.
Discrete Weibull Distribution
Applies Weibull distribution concepts to discrete data: , where and .
Hypergeometric Distribution
Describes the probability of drawing exactly k successes from a finite population without replacement: , where N is the population size, K is the number of successes in the population, and n is the number of draws.
Zeta Distribution
Used for modeling the distribution of non-negative integers: , where is a parameter greater than 1, and is the Riemann zeta function.
Binomial Distribution
A distribution representing the number of successes in a sequence of n independent experiments: , where is the probability of success on a single trial.
Geometric Distribution
Models the number of trials until the first success: , where is the probability of success on a single trial.
Logarithmic Series Distribution
Models the number of occurrences of an event where the probabilities diminish logarithmically: for and .
Zipf's Law
Describes the frequency of items in a power-law distribution: , where is the exponent characterizing the distribution and N is the number of elements.
Poisson Distribution
Expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space: , where is the average number of events in the interval.
Bernoulli Distribution
A distribution for a binary outcome: for , where is the probability of success ().
