Statistical Distribution Examples
Multivariate continuous and discrete parametric distributions.
Discrete univariate parametric distributions
Univariate continuous parametric distributions
An extensive list of properties can be queried for each supported distribution
Some operations, such as sum, min, or max of random variables, converge to only a few limit distributions when repeated. These limit distributions include NormalDistribution, StableDistribution, MinStableDistribution, and MaxStableDistribution
NormalDistribution | StableDistribution | MaxStableDistribution |
Simulate Incomes with Dagum Distribution
Model a lifetime of a device by a GompertzMakehamDistribution and compare reliability of systems composed of two such devices put in series or in parallel.
Use Logistic Distribution to Simulate Fractional Change
LogisticDistribution provides a very good fit for fractional price changes from the previous closing price of stocks. Use EstimatedDistribution to find best fit with logistic distribution for the daily fractional price changes of Standard & Poor’s 500 index from January 1, 2000 to January 1, 2009. Then use this distribution to run a simulation.
