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:
“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)
“When needs and means become abstract in quality, abstraction is also a character of the reciprocal relation of individuals to one another. This abstract character, universality, is the character of being recognized and is the moment which makes concrete, i.e. social, the isolated and abstract needs and their ways and means of satisfaction.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
