The normal distribution (also known as the Gaussian distribution) is arguably the most important distribution in Statistics. It is often used to represent continuous random variables occurring in ...

Statisticians frequently assume that data follow a normal distribution when developing statistical methods and performing practical data analysis. In most introductory statistics textbooks, the ...

This video describes the central limit theorem and some properties of the normal distribution. Understanding this will help you tie together many of the different types of hypothesis tests and ...

This paper deals with the order statistics from the normal distribution. Equations are obtained for the percentage points and the modal values of the kth order statistic in a sample of size n. Table I ...

Let X1,..., XN be N standardized normal variables with correlation matrix {ρij} and let X(1) ⩽ ... ⩽ X(N) denote the ordered Xi. Besides some general ...

This column is the fourth in a series on parameter estimation, leading up to the justly famous Kalman filter. The discipline is based on the fact that our knowledge of the state of any real-world ...
