  2. Student's t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-distribution

    In probability and statistics, Student's t distribution (or simply the t distribution) is a continuous probability distribution that generalizes the standard normal distribution. Like the latter, it is symmetric around zero and bell-shaped. However, has heavier tails and the amount of probability mass in the tails is controlled by the parameter ...

  3. t-statistic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-statistic

    Most frequently, t statistics are used in Student's t-tests, a form of statistical hypothesis testing, and in the computation of certain confidence intervals. The key property of the t statistic is that it is a pivotal quantity – while defined in terms of the sample mean, its sampling distribution does not depend on the population parameters, and thus it can be used regardless of what these ...

  4. Multivariate t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_t-distribution

    Skewness. 0. In statistics, the multivariate t-distribution (or multivariate Student distribution) is a multivariate probability distribution. It is a generalization to random vectors of the Student's t -distribution, which is a distribution applicable to univariate random variables. While the case of a random matrix could be treated within ...

  5. Student's t-test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student's_t-test

    Student's t-test is a statistical test used to test whether the difference between the response of two groups is statistically significant or not. It is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic follows a Student's t -distribution under the null hypothesis. It is most commonly applied when the test statistic would follow a ...

  6. Noncentral t-distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noncentral_t-distribution

    The noncentral t-distribution generalizes Student's t -distribution using a noncentrality parameter. Whereas the central probability distribution describes how a test statistic t is distributed when the difference tested is null, the noncentral distribution describes how t is distributed when the null is false.

  7. Skewed generalized t distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skewed_generalized_t...

    In probability and statistics, the skewed generalized "t" distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions. The distribution was first introduced by Panayiotis Theodossiou [1] in 1998.

  8. T distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_distribution

    T distribution. The phrase " T distribution " may refer to. Student's t-distribution in univariate probability theory, Hotelling's T-square distribution in multivariate statistics. Multivariate Student distribution.

  9. Probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_distribution

    t. e. In probability theory and statistics, a probability distribution is the mathematical function that gives the probabilities of occurrence of different possible outcomes for an experiment. [1] [2] It is a mathematical description of a random phenomenon in terms of its sample space and the probabilities of events ( subsets of the sample space).
