Continuous distributions

Normal-inverse Gaussian distribution

The normal-inverse Gaussian distribution (NIG) is a continuous probability distribution that is defined as the normal variance-mean mixture where the mixing density is the inverse Gaussian distribution. The NIG distribution was noted by Blaesild in 1977 as a subclass of the generalised hyperbolic distribution discovered by Ole Barndorff-Nielsen. In the next year Barndorff-Nielsen published the NIG in another paper. It was introduced in the mathematical finance literature in 1997. The parameters of the normal-inverse Gaussian distribution are often used to construct a heaviness and skewness plot called the NIG-triangle. (Wikipedia).

Gaussian/Normal Distributions

In this video we discuss the Gaussian (AKA Normal) probability distribution function. We show how it relates to the error function (erf) and discuss how to use this distribution analytically and numerically (for example when analyzing real-life sensor data or performing simulation of stoc

Using normal distribution to find the probability

👉 Learn how to find probability from a normal distribution curve. A set of data are said to be normally distributed if the set of data is symmetrical about the mean. The shape of a normal distribution curve is bell-shaped. The normal distribution curve is such that the mean is at the cente

Gaussian copula

The Gaussian copula was gainfully employed prior to the credit crisis, and it has pretty much been shamed. Mathematically, it's an elegant way to join marginal distributions and handle default correlation. But it requires too many simplifying assumptions.

Abstract: This talk focuses on the estimation of the distribution of unobserved nodes in large random graphs from the observation of very few edges. These graphs naturally model tournaments involving a large number of players (the nodes) where the ability to win of each player is unknown.
