Normal Distribution
A continuous distribution defined by the probability density function (PDF) where is the mean and is the standard deviation.
Chi-Squared Distribution
A special case of the Gamma distribution with and , where is the degrees of freedom. The PDF is for .
Uniform Distribution
A continuous distribution where all intervals of the same length within the distribution's range are equally probable. The PDF is for .
Poisson Distribution
A discrete distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space when these events occur with a known constant mean rate () and independently of the time since the last event. The PMF is .
Geometric Distribution
A discrete distribution that models the number of Bernoulli trials needed to get the first success. The PMF is for , where is the probability of success on each trial.
Beta Distribution
A continuous distribution defined on the interval [0, 1] and parameterized by two positive shape parameters, and . The PDF is where is the beta function.
Binomial Distribution
A discrete distribution representing the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials, each with the same probability of success (). The probability mass function (PMF) is where is the number of trials and is the number of successes.
Exponential Distribution
A continuous distribution that describes the time between events in a Poisson point process, i.e., a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate. The PDF is for .
Hypergeometric Distribution
A discrete distribution that describes the probability of successes in draws, without replacement, from a finite population of size that contains exactly successes. The PMF is .
Gamma Distribution
A two-parameter family of continuous distributions. It has a scale parameter and a shape parameter . The PDF is for , where is the gamma function.
