Probability Distributions and their Stories

Given any module that deals with statistics, one basic skill you must have is to be able to program and create plots of probability distributions typically encountered in the field of data science. This tutorial should remind you of various distributions introduced in this section, but now they are phrased using the scipy.stats module.

Conclusions

This document serves as a catalog of probability distributions that will be useful for you in your statistical modeling. As we will see, the mathematical expression of the PDF is not often needed. What is most important in your modeling is that you know the story of the distribution.
