Relationships among probability distributions
Encyclopedia
Many statistical distributions have close relationships. Some examples include:
- Bernoulli distribution, binomial distribution, and normal distribution.
- exponential distributionExponential distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the exponential distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions. It describes the time between events in a Poisson process, i.e...
and Poisson distributionPoisson distributionIn probability theory and statistics, the Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that expresses the probability of a given number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time and/or space if these events occur with a known average rate and independently of the time since...
