Relation To Other Distributions
The Pearson family subsumes the following distributions, among others:
- beta distribution (type I)
- beta prime distribution (type VI)
- Cauchy distribution (type IV)
- chi-squared distribution (type III)
- continuous uniform distribution (limit of type I)
- exponential distribution (type III)
- gamma distribution (type III)
- F-distribution (type VI)
- inverse-chi-squared distribution (type V)
- inverse-gamma distribution (type V)
- normal distribution (limit of type I, III, IV, V, or VI)
- Student's t-distribution (type VII, which is the non-skewed subtype of type IV)

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:
“To be a good enough parent one must be able to feel secure in one’s parenthood, and one’s relation to one’s child...The security of the parent about being a parent will eventually become the source of the child’s feeling secure about himself.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“The difference between objective and subjective extension is one of relation to a context solely.”
