NameFunction

Beta
where a, b > 0 are the shape parameters; B(.) is the Beta function; and I[0,1] is the indicator function.
Exponential
where µ is the mean.
Extreme value
where µ and σ are, respectively, the location and scale parameters.
Gamma, where a and b are the shape and scale parameters and is the Gamma function.
Generalized extreme value

where µ, σ, and k are, respectively, the location, scale, and shape parameters.
Generalized Pareto

where k, σ, and θ are, respectively, the shape, scale, and threshold parameters.
Inverse Gaussian
where µ and λ are, respectively, the mean and shape parameters.
Logistic
where µ and σ are, respectively, the mean and scale parameters.
Log-logistic
where µ and σ are, respectively, the mean and scale parameters.
Log-normal
where µ and σ are, respectively, the mean and scale parameters.
NormalIf X follows the log-normal distribution with parameters µ and σ, then log(X) follows the normal distribution with mean µ and standard deviation σ.
Weibull
where σ and k are, respectively, the scale and shape parameters.
