Modified half-normal distribution

Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 11 days ago

In probability theory and statistics, the modified half-normal distribution (MHN) is a three-parameter family of continuous probability distributions supported on the positive part of the real line. It can be viewed as a generalization of multiple families, including the half-normal distribution, truncated normal distribution, gamma distribution, and square root of the gamma distribution, all of which are special cases of the MHN distribution. Therefore, it is a flexible probability model for analyzing real-valued positive data. The name of the distribution is motivated by the similarities of its density function with that of the half-normal distribution.
