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

also, hi

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

                      Bernoulli
                          |
                          v
     ---------------- Binomial------>Normal
    /                     |

Beta                  Poisson              Geometric

                       Exponential  <----

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