Normal 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.

Frequency distributionFrequency distributionThe organization of data to show how often certain values or ranges of values occur. Probability distributionProbability distributionA function that describes all the values a random variable can take and the probability associated with each. Also called a probability function. Secondary 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.
