# List of probability distributions

Jump to: navigation, search

Many probability distributions are so important in theory or applications that they have been given specific names.

## Continuous distributions

### With variable support

• The generalized extreme value distribution has a finite upper bound or a finite lower bound depending on what range the value of one of the parameters of the distribution is in (or is supported on the whole real line for one special value of the parameter
• The generalized Pareto distribution has a support which is either bounded below only, or bounded both above and below
• The Tukey lambda distribution is either supported on the whole real line, or on a bounded interval, depending on what range the value of one of the parameters of the distribution is in.
• The Wakeby distribution

## Joint distributions

For any set of independent random variables the probability density function of their joint distribution is the product of their individual density functions.
