Chi-Squared Distribution
Continuous distribution, distribution of a sum of squared independent standard normal random variables, parameter: degrees of freedom ().
Log-Normal Distribution
Continuous distribution, distribution of a variable whose logarithm is normally distributed, parameters: mean () and standard deviation () of the variable's natural logarithm.
Exponential Distribution
Continuous distribution, time between events in a Poisson process, parameter: rate ().
Bernoulli Distribution
Discrete distribution, models success or failure in a single trial, parameter: probability of success ().
F-Distribution
Continuous distribution, ratio of two scaled chi-squared distributions, parameters: degrees of freedom for numerator () and denominator ().
Hypergeometric Distribution
Discrete distribution, number of successes in draws without replacement from a finite population, parameters: population size (), number of successes in population (), number of draws ().
Cauchy Distribution
Continuous distribution, appears in problems with ratios of normal random variables, parameters: location () and scale ().
Normal Distribution
Continuous distribution, symmetric around its mean, defined by two parameters: mean () and standard deviation ().
Binomial Distribution
Discrete distribution, number of successes in a sequence of independent trials, parameters: number of trials () and probability of success ().
Weibull Distribution
Continuous distribution, time to failure analysis, parameters: scale () and shape ().
Geometric Distribution
Discrete distribution, number of Bernoulli trials until a success, parameter: probability of success ().
Beta Distribution
Continuous distribution, probabilities of probabilities, parameters: shape parameters ( and ).
Multinomial Distribution
Generalization of the binomial distribution to more than two outcomes, parameters: number of trials () and success probabilities () for each outcome.
Gamma Distribution
Continuous distribution, waiting time until the -th event in a Poisson process, parameters: shape () and rate ().
Negative Binomial Distribution
Discrete distribution, number of failures before a specified number of successes occurs, parameters: number of successes (), probability of success ().
Dirichlet Distribution
Continuous multivariate generalization of the beta distribution, parameters: vector of positive reals () which are concentration parameters.
t-Distribution
Continuous distribution, distribution of the mean of a normally distributed population when the sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown, parameter: degrees of freedom ().
Pareto Distribution
Continuous distribution, models the distribution of wealth, parameters: scale () and shape ().
Poisson Distribution
Discrete distribution, models number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space, parameter: rate ().
Uniform Distribution
Continuous or discrete distribution, equally likely outcomes, continuous parameters: minimum () and maximum ().
