(note, the degrees of freedom,
is a positive integer)
This distribution is a special case of the gamma distribution
(for
and
). It has application in hypothesis
testing.
Beta

(note,
and
)
Cauchy


Note: the mean of the Cauchy distribution actually does not exist strictly,
but since the distribution is symmetric, it is generally taken to be
.
Erlang

(note, n is a positive integer and
)
This is a special case of the gamma distribution (where
is
an integer).
This distribution has applications in problems concerning the time between
independent events, which each have exponential distribution.
Exponential


(note,
)
This distribution has applications in queueing problems, lifetime of events problems and in some physics problems.
F

(note,
and
are positive integers).

Gamma


(note,
and
)
Log-Normal


Note that
is Normal
, hence the name.
Normal (Gaussian)


Rayleigh


Uniform


Weibull


(note,
and
)
Applications in failure, reliability and lifetime problems.
