Definition of Distribution

Distribution
The process of selling a large lot of a security in such a way that its price is not heavily influenced.

distribution
the apportioning of daily production rates to wells on a lease. Because there are many wells on a lease, such production is apportioned on the basis of periodic tests rather than on the individual receiving and gauging of oil at each well.

distribution
the important features of the distribution are its central value, its spread, and its symmetry. As a quick check, if the mean and the median are approximately the same value, we have one piece of evidence that the data may be normally distributed.
In more detail, for example, a histogram indicates that the data is unimodal(one hump) and fairly symmetric. It appears to be close to a normal distribution.

Distribution (statistical)
The amount of potential variation in the outputs of a process, typically expressed by its shape, average or standard deviation.

distribution

2. A vague term encompassing mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups (but not BBS fora); any topic-oriented message channel with multiple recipients.
3. An information-space domain (usually loosely correlated with geography) to which propagation of a Usenet message is restricted; a much-underused feature.

n. 1. A software source tree packaged for distribution; but see kit. Since about 1996 unqualified use of this term often implies `Linux distribution'. 2. A vague term encompassing mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups (but not BBS fora); any topic-oriented message channel with multiple recipients. 3. An information-space domain (usually loosely correlated with geography) to which propagation of a Usenet message is restricted; a much-underutilized feature.

A planned spread of fire to cover a desired frontage or depth. 4. An official delivery of anything, such as orders or supplies. 5. The operational process of synchronizing all elements of the logistic system to deliver the “right things” to the “right place” at the “right time” to support the geographic combatant commander. 6. The process of assigning military personnel to activities, units, or billets. (JP 4-0)

Distribute, Distribution
DISTRIBUTE - To sell, lease, bail, assign, or otherwise transfer, or to offer to sell, lease, bail, or otherwise transfer.

DISTRIBUTION - By this term is understood the division of an intestate's estate according to law.

English statute, which was itself probably borrowed from the 118th Novel of Justinian, is the foundation of, perhaps, most acts of distribution in the several states.

Pipeline, distribution
A pipeline that conveys gas from a transmission pipeline to its ultimate consumer.

Beta Distribution
The beta distribution (the term first used by Gini, 1911) is defined as:


Beta Distribution (animation) 
The animation above shows the beta distribution as the two shape parameters change.

Bimodal Distribution
A distribution that has two modes (thus two "peaks").

Bimodality of the distribution in a sample is often a strong indication that the distribution of the variable in population is not normal. Bimodality of the distribution may provide important information about the nature of the investigated variable (i.e., the measured quality). For example, if the variable represents a reported preference or attitude, then bimodality may indicate a polarization of opinions. Often however, the bimodality may indicate that the sample is not homogenous and the observations come in fact from two or more "overlapping" distributions. Sometimes, bimodality of the distribution may indicate problems with the measurement instrument (e.g, "gage calibration problems" in natural sciences, or "response biases" in social sciences).

Binomial Distribution
The binomial distribution (the term first used by Yule, 1911) is defined as:
f(x) = [n!/(x!*(n-x)!)] * p^x * q^n-x
for x = 0, 1, 2, ..., n
where
p is the probability of success at each trial
q is equal to 1-p
n is the number of independent trials

Bivariate Normal Distribution
Two variables follow the bivariate normal distribution if for each value of one variable, the corresponding values of another variable are normally distributed . The bivariate normal probability distribution function for a pair of continuous random variables (X and Y) is given by:



where
₁, ₂ are the respective means of the random variables X and Y
₁, ₂
is the correlation coefficient of X and Y
is the base of the natural logarithm, sometimes called Euler's e (2.71...)
is the constant Pi (3.14...)
