Handbook on Univariate Statistical Distributions

Univariate statistical distributions, with their basic properties, are an important part of advance statistics. The Handbook on Univariate Statistical Distributions includes most of the univariate statistical distributions that are used in practice. Author M. Ahsanullah has presented most of the common univariate discrete and continuous statistical distributions with their basic properties. For each distribution, most of the common basic properties--such as distribution functions, moments, and generating functions--are provided for easy reference. This information is integral to understanding and using these distributions.

The first chapter includes definitions and concepts that are needed to study the distributions and some mathematical functions that are used in other chapters. Successive chapters include distributions and their generalized forms with basic properties and relations with other distributions. In addition, order statistics and record values are discussed for some of the distributions.

The Handbook on Univariate Statistical Distributions, an excellent reference for researchers and practitioners who conduct in-depth statistical analysis, is the definitive guide to understanding the vitally important statistical distributions, designed with upper level undergraduate and graduate students in mind.
