User:IssaRice/List of probability distributions

List of distributions that make sense to me:

• uniform
• bernoulli
• binomial
• geometric
• beta
• poisson
• exponential
• gamma (at least when alpha is a positive integer a.k.a. Erlang distribution)

List of distributions that i don't understand:

• pareto
• normal
• log normal
• chi-squared
• student's t
• yule-simon https://gist.github.com/riceissa/041f418cccec32287008020d850d6daa

also, hi

	Ask for time until next event	Ask for time until nth event	Ask for number of events in fixed interval
Discrete version	Geometric distribution	Negative binomial distribution?	Binomial distribution
Continuous version	Exponential distribution	Gamma distribution	Poisson distribution

$A\to B$ means I am aware of a derivation of B using A.
