| pdf_image |  The red curve is the standard normal distribution |  Some log-normal density functions with identical parameter but differing parameters  |  |  |  |  Pareto Type I probability density functions for various α with xm = 1. As α → ∞ the distribution approaches δ(x − xm) where δ is the Dirac delta function. |  |
