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. Required minimum distribution (RMD)Required minimum distribution (RMD)The minimum amount that the IRS requires must be withdrawn each year from all tax-advantaged retirement plans starting in the calendar year following the year in which the plan holder reaches age 70-1/2. Roth IRAs are exempt from this rule. Income redistribution argument for a tariffIncome redistribution argument for a tariffThe argument that tariffs should be used in order to redistribute income towards the poor. In a rich country, where unskilled labor is the scarce factor, this can make sense as explained in the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem, but it is a second-best argument. Frequency distributionFrequency distributionThe organization of data to show how often certain values or ranges of values occur.
