Missing references

Irwing-Hall distribution is a relevant example who's missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.90.254.160 (talk) 09:38, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Multinomial distribution?

edit

Extrapolating from the Bernoulli / binomial case, I would guess that:

Sum of categoricals ~ multinomial
Sum of multinomials ~ multinomial

Can someone confirm this? --88.109.101.42 (talk) 15:10, 21 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Distributions without an analytic form

edit

Please can a section be added to describe common distributions that are *not* known to have an analytic form under convolution, for example the convolution of two beta functions.

Split

edit

I have added a split template on the basis that the present article, with its "proof" section, is no longer a simple list. The lead could be kept, possibly in both articles in their initial versions. Melcombe (talk) 11:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have done this, given no one disliking the idea. See Convolution of probability distributions. Melcombe (talk) 13:13, 29 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
