Normal probability distribution — A probability distribution for a continuous random variable that is forms a symmetrical bell shaped curve around the mean. The New York Times Financial Glossary … Financial and business terms
Normal-gamma distribution — Normal gamma parameters: location (real) (real) (real) (real) support … Wikipedia
Probability distribution — This article is about probability distribution. For generalized functions in mathematical analysis, see Distribution (mathematics). For other uses, see Distribution (disambiguation). In probability theory, a probability mass, probability density … Wikipedia
Normal probability plot — The normal probability plot is a graphical technique for normality testing: assessing whether or not a data set is approximately normally distributed. Example of a normal probability plot. The data are plotted against a theoretical normal… … Wikipedia
Probability Distribution — A statistical function that describes all the possible values and likelihoods that a random variable can take within a given range. This range will be between the minimum and maximum statistically possible values, but where the possible value is… … Investment dictionary
Continuous probability distribution — In probability theory, a probability distribution is called continuous if its cumulative distribution function is continuous. That is equivalent to saying that for random variables X with the distribution in question, Pr [ X = a ] = 0 for all… … Wikipedia
Joint probability distribution — In the study of probability, given two random variables X and Y that are defined on the same probability space, the joint distribution for X and Y defines the probability of events defined in terms of both X and Y. In the case of only two random… … Wikipedia
Quasi-probability distribution — In the most general form, the dynamics of a quantum mechanical system are determined by a master equation an equationof motion for the density operator (usually written rho;) of thesystem. Although it is possible to directly integrate this… … Wikipedia
probability distribution — The mathematical function describing the probability of different events, as described by values for a variable. A symmetrical distribution (one where to values are evenly distributed around the mean) is called a bell curve, a normal distribution … Financial and business terms
Maximum entropy probability distribution — In statistics and information theory, a maximum entropy probability distribution is a probability distribution whose entropy is at least as great as that of all other members of a specified class of distributions. According to the principle of… … Wikipedia
