For a spherically symmetric multivariate normal random sample, the asymptotic distribution of the largest interpoint Euclidean distance is derived. The number of interpoint distances exceeding a high ...

The multinomial distribution is a type of probability distribution used in finance to determine the likelihood of a certain set of outcomes.

Sample mean. Sampling from the Normal distribution. Order statistics. Sample statistics. Sampling distributions. Parameter estimation. Interval estimation. Hypothesis testing. Maximum-likelihood ...

In this article we review two historical approximations to the Poisson and binomial cumulative distribution functions (CDFs); that is, the Wilson—Hilferty and Camp—Paulson approximations. Both of ...

Since the point pattern is curved with slope increasing from left to right, a theoretical distribution that is skewed to the right, such as a lognormal distribution, should provide a better fit than ...

Normal probability distribution is assumed in financial models; however, the returns of many securities tend to demonstrate a non-normal distribution.

For example, the data in the "Getting Started" section are reasonably described by a normal distribution with mean 10 and standard deviation 0.3. It is instructive to display these data on normal P-P ...
