context_page_description: Many probability distributions that are important in theory or applications have been given specific names.
context_section_description: The Beta prime distribution
  The Birnbaum–Saunders distribution,  also known as the fatigue life distribution, is a probability distribution used extensively in reliability applications to model failure times.
  The chi distribution
  The noncentral chi distribution
  The chi-squared distribution, which is the sum of the squares of n independent Gaussian random variables. It is a special case of the Gamma distribution, and it is used in goodness-of-fit tests in statistics.
  The inverse-chi-squared distribution
  The noncentral chi-squared distribution
  The Scaled inverse chi-squared distribution
  The Dagum distribution
  The exponential distribution, which describes the time between consecutive rare random events in a process with no memory.
  The Exponential-logarithmic distribution
  The F-distribution, which is the distribution of the ratio of two (normalized) chi-squared-distributed random variables, used in the analysis of variance. It is referred to as the beta prime distribution when it is the ratio of two chi-squared variates which are not normalized by dividing them by their numbers of degrees of freedom.
  The noncentral F-distribution
  The folded normal distribution
  The Fréchet distribution
  The Gamma distribution, which describes the time until n consecutive rare random events occur in a process with no memory.
  The Erlang distribution, which is a special case of the gamma distribution with integral shape parameter, developed to predict waiting times in queuing systems
  The inverse-gamma distribution
  The Generalized gamma distribution
  The generalized Pareto distribution
  The Gamma/Gompertz distribution
  The Gompertz distribution
  The half-normal distribution
  Hotelling's T-squared distribution
  The inverse Gaussian distribution, also known as the Wald distribution
  The Lévy distribution
  The log-Cauchy distribution
  The log-Laplace distribution
  The log-logistic distribution
  The log-normal distribution, describing variables which can be modelled as the product of many small independent positive variables.
  The Lomax distribution
  The Mittag-Leffler distribution
  The Nakagami distribution
  The Pareto distribution, or "power law" distribution, used in the analysis of financial data and critical behavior.
  The Pearson Type III distribution
  The Phase-type distribution, used in queueing theory
  The phased bi-exponential distribution is commonly used in pharmacokinetics
  The phased bi-Weibull distribution
  The Rayleigh distribution
  The Rayleigh mixture distribution
  The Rice distribution
  The shifted Gompertz distribution
  The type-2 Gumbel distribution
  The Weibull distribution or Rosin Rammler distribution, of which the exponential distribution is a special case, is used to model the lifetime of technical devices and is used to describe the particle size distribution of particles generated by grinding, milling and crushing operations.
