Probability distributionA specification of the probabilities for each possible value of a random variable.Probability distributionA function that describes all the values a random variable can take and the probability associated with each. Also called a probability function.Probability distribution Similar MatchesDistribution areaDistribution areaAn established price range in which a stock has been trading in for a significant amount of time. See: Accumulation area. DistributionDistributionSelling a large lot of a security in such a way that the security price is not heavily influenced. Dividend distributionDividend distributionSee: Dividend income 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. Premature distributionPremature distributionA distribution from an IRA before the owner reaches age 59-1/2. Generally, a 10% penalty tax is owed on such a distribution. Also known as an early distribution or an early withdrawal.
