Probability Distributions Recap

Recap With Hints

We have seen six major probability distributions. Let’s recap the relations among them so that we can get a better understanding of what to use and when to use it.

The first step is to identify whether we are dealing with a continuous or discrete random variable. Once that’s done, here are some helpful hints to proceed from there:

• If we see a Normal (Gaussian) Distribution, we should go for it because there are many algorithms that, by default, will perform well ...
