Parameterizations

The precise relationships between distributions depend on parameterization. The relationships detailed below depend on the following parameterizations for the PDFs.

Let C(n, k) denote the binomial coefficient(n, k) and B(a, b) = Γ(a) Γ(b) / Γ(a + b).

Geometric: f(x) = p (1-p)x for non-negative integers x.

Discrete uniform: f(x) = 1/n for x = 1, 2, ..., n.

Negative binomial: f(x) = C(r + x - 1, x) pr(1-p)x for non-negative integers x. See notes on the negative binomial distribution.

Beta binomial: f(x) = C(n, x) B(α + x, n + β - x) / B(α, β) for x = 0, 1, ..., n.

Hypergeometric: f(x) = C(M, x) C(N-M, K - x) / C(N, K) for x = 0, 1, ..., N.

Poisson: f(x) = exp(-λ) λx/ x! for non-negative integers x. The parameter λ is both the mean and the variance.

Binomial: f(x) = C(n, x) px(1 - p)n-x for x = 0, 1, ..., n.

Bernoulli: f(x) = px(1 - p)1-x where x = 0 or 1.

Lognormal: f(x) = (2πσ2)-1/2 exp( -(log(x) - μ)2/ 2σ2) / x for positive x. Note that μ and σ2 are not the mean and variance of the distribution.

Normal : f(x) = (2π σ2)-1/2 exp( - ½((x - μ)/σ)2 ) for all x.

Beta: f(x) = Γ(α + β) xα-1(1 - x)β-1 / (Γ(α) Γ(β)) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.

Standard normal: f(x) = (2π)-1/2 exp( -x2/2) for all x.

Chi-squared: f(x) = x-ν/2-1 exp(-x/2) / Γ(ν/2) 2ν/2 for positive x. The parameter ν is called the degrees of freedom.

Gamma: f(x) = β-α xα-1 exp(-x/β) / Γ(α) for positive x. The parameter α is called the shape and β is the scale.

Uniform: f(x) = 1 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.

Cauchy: f(x) = σ/(π( (x - μ)2 + σ2) ) for all x. Note that μ and σ are location and scale parameters. The Cauchy distribution has no mean or variance.

Snedecor F: f(x) is proportional to x(ν1 - 2)/2 / (1 + (ν1/ν2) x)(ν1 + ν2)/2 for positive x.

Exponential: f(x) = exp(-x/μ)/μ for positive x. The parameter μ is the mean.

Student t: f(x) is proportional to (1 + (x2/ν))-(ν + 1)/2 for positive x. The parameter ν is called the degrees of freedom.

Weibull: f(x) = (γ/β) xγ-1 exp(- xγ/β) for positive x. The parameter γ is the shape and β is the scale.

Double exponential : f(x) = exp(-|x-μ|/σ) / 2σ for all x. The parameter μ is the location and mean; σ is the scale.

For comparison, see distribution parameterizations in R/S-PLUS and Mathematica.
Relationships

In all statements about two random variables, the random variables are implicitly independent.

Geometric / negative binomial: If each Xi is geometric random variable with probability of success p then the sum of n Xi's is a negative binomial random variable with parameters n and p.

Negative binomial / geometric: A negative binomial distribution with r = 1 is a geometric distribution.

Negative binomial / Poisson: If X has a negative binomial random variable with r large, p near 1, and r(1-p) = λ, then FX ≈ FY where Y is a Poisson random variable with mean λ.

Beta-binomial / discrete uniform: A beta-binomial (n, 1, 1) random variable is a discrete uniform random variable over the values 0 ... n.

Beta-binomial / binomial: Let X be a beta-binomial random variable with parameters (n, α, β). Let p = α/(α + β) and suppose α + β is large. If Y is a binomial(n, p) random variable then FX ≈ FY.

Hypergeometric / binomial: The difference between a hypergeometric distribution and a binomial distribution is the difference between sampling without replacement and sampling with replacement. As the population size increases relative to the sample size, the difference becomes negligible.

Geometric / geometric: If X1 and X2 are geometric random variables with probability of success p1 and p2 respectively, then min(X1, X2) is a geometric random variable with probability of success p = p1 + p2 - p1 p2. The relationship is simpler in terms of failure probabilities: q = q1 q2.

Poisson / Poisson: If X1 and X2 are Poisson random variables with means μ1 and μ2 respectively, then X1 + X2 is a Poisson random variable with mean μ1 + μ2.

Binomial / Poisson: If X is a binomial(n, p) random variable and Y is a Poisson(np) distribution then P(X = n) ≈ P(Y = n) if n is large and n$ is small. For more information, see Poisson approximation to binomial.

Bernoulli / Binomial: The sum of n Bernoulli(p) random variables is a binomial(n, p) random variable.

Poisson / normal: If X is a Poisson random variable with large mean and Y is a normal distribution with the same mean and variance as X, then for integers j and k, P(j ≤ X ≤ k) ≈ P(j - 1/2 ≤ Y ≤ k + 1/2). For more information, see normal approximation to Poisson.

Binomial / normal: If X is a binomial(n, p) random variable and Y is a normal random variable with the same mean and variance as X, i.e. np and np(1-p), then for integers j and k, P(j ≤ X ≤ k) ≈ P(j - 1/2 ≤ Y ≤ k + 1/2). The approximation is better when p ≈ and when n is large. For more information, see normal approximation to binomial.

Lognormal / lognormal: If X1 and X2 are lognormal random variables with parameters (μ1, σ12) and (μ2, σ22) respectively, then X1 X2 is a lognormal random variable with parameters (μ1 + μ2, σ12 + σ22).

Normal / standard normal: If X is a normal(μ, σ2) random variable then (X - μ)/σ is a standard normal random variable. Conversely, If X is a normal(0,1) random variable then σ X + μ is a normal (μ, σ2) random variable.

Normal / normal: If X1 is a normal (μ1, σ12) random variable and X2 is a normal (μ2, σ22) random variable, then X1 + X2 is a normal (μ1 + μ2, σ12 + σ22) random variable.

Gamma / normal: If X is a gamma(α, β) random variable and Y is a normal random variable with the same mean and variance as X, then FX ≈ FY if the shape parameter α is large relative to the scale parameter β. For more information, see normal approximation to gamma.

Gamma / beta: If X1 is gamma(α1, 1) random variable and X2 is a gamma (α2, 1) random variable then X1/(X1 + X2) is a beta(α1, α2) random variable. More generally, if X1 is gamma(α1, β1) random variable and X2 is gamma(α2, β2) random variable then β2 X1/(β2 X1 + β1 X2) is a beta(α1, α2) random variable.

Beta / uniform: A beta random variable with parameters α = β = 1 is a uniform random variable.

Chi-squared / chi-squared: If X1 and X2 are chi-squared random variables with ν1 and ν2 degrees of freedom respectively, then X1 + X2 is a chi-squared random variable with ν1 + ν2 degrees of freedom.
