Cumulative probability distributionA function that shows the probability that the random variable will attain a value less than or equal to each value that the random variable can take on.Cumulative probability distribution Similar MatchesSecondary distribution or offeringSecondary distribution or offeringPublic sale of previously issued securities held by large investors, usually corporations or institutions, as distinguished from a primary distribution, where the seller is the issuing corporation. The sale is handled off the NYSE, by a securities firm or a group of firms, and the shares are usually offered at a fixed price related to the current market price of the stock. Probability distributionProbability distributionA specification of the probabilities for each possible value of a random variable. Income distributionIncome distributionA description of the fractions of a population that are at various levels of income. The larger are the differences in income, the "worse" the income distribution is usually said to be, the smaller the "better." International trade and factor movements can alter countries' income distributions by changing prices of low- and high-paid factors. Primary distributionPrimary distributionSale of a new issue of stock or bonds, as distinguished from a secondary distribution. Normal DistributionNormal DistributionThe well known bell shaped curve. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the probability density function of a large number of independent, identically distributed random numbers will approach the normal distribution. In the fractal family of distributions, the normal distribution only exists when alpha equals 2, or the Hurst exponent equals 0.50. Thus, the normal distribution is a special case which in time series analysis is quite rare. See: Alpha, Central Limit Theorem, Fractal Distribution.
