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:
“Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
