Common Probability Distributions

The common probability distributions are:

  1. Uniform Distribution: It is a simple off or on distribution, where anything outside the given range is 0.
  2. Normal (or Gaussian) Distribution: This distribution has the same standard deviation in all directions. We get to know the average dataset value along with the spread of the data.
  3. Poisson Distribution: This is similar to Poisson Distribution but also has skewness, in which the variation tells about the spread of the data in different directions.
