a location parameter of a probability distribution is a scalar- or vector-valued parameter x0{\displaystyle x_{0}}, which determines the "location" or...

distributions that is neither a location parameter nor a scale parameter (nor a function of these, such as a rate parameter). Such a parameter must affect the shape...

a scale parameter is a special kind of numerical parameter of a parametric family of probability distributions. The larger the scale parameter, the more...

A location test is a statistical hypothesis test that compares the location parameter of a statistical population to a given constant, or that compares...

model the tails of another distribution. It is specified by three parameters: location μ{\displaystyle \mu }, scale σ{\displaystyle \sigma }, and shape...

In probability theory, Chebyshev's inequality (also called the Bienaymé–Chebyshev inequality) provides an upper bound on the probability of deviation of...

statistics, a location–scale family is a family of probability distributions parametrized by a location parameter and a non-negative scale parameter. For any...
