- 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)

Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:
“Only in a house where one has learnt to be lonely does one have this solicitude for things. One’s relation to them, the daily seeing or touching, begins to become love, and to lay one open to pain.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
