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
    /                     |
   v                      v
Beta                  Poisson              Geometric
                          |               /
                          v              /
                       Exponential  <----

AB means I am aware of a derivation of B using A.
