- | ====== Hyperbolic Secant Distribution ====== | ||
- | |||
- | In probability theory and statistics, the hyperbolic secant distribution is a continuous probability distribution whose probability density function and characteristic function are proportional to the hyperbolic secant function. | ||
- | |||
- | A random variable follows a hyperbolic secant distribution if its probability density function (pdf) is | ||
- | |||
- | f(x,a,b) = sech((x-a)/ | ||
- | |||
- | where “sech” denotes the hyperbolic secant function. | ||
- | |||
- | The hyperbolic secant distribution shares many properties with the standard normal distribution: | ||
