This article seems to be a list of probability istributions, and not an article about probability distributions ''per se''. Certainly, having such a list seems like a good thing, but I wonder if the article shouldn't be renamed. Of course, we would also want to have an article on probability distributions.

You may want to rearrange/rephrase the opening material a bit, but the article failed to distinguish between probability and ''probability distributions''. They are not the same thing: probability distributions are functions that can be integrated (or summed) to obtain probability. [[User:Greg Woodhouse|Greg Woodhouse]] 10:32, 25 June 2007 (CDT) |

Name of article
This article seems to be a list of probability istributions, and not an article about probability distributions per se. Certainly, having such a list seems like a good thing, but I wonder if the article shouldn't be renamed. Of course, we would also want to have an article on probability distributions.

Probability vs. probability distribution
You may want to rearrange/rephrase the opening material a bit, but the article failed to distinguish between probability and probability distributions. They are not the same thing: probability distributions are functions that can be integrated (or summed) to obtain probability. Greg Woodhouse 10:32, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
