What are the common understandable use cases for beta distribution, in everyday life?
552.
by hammock 1y ago
Poisson, Pareto/power/zipf and normal distributions are really important. The top 3 for me. (What am I missing?) And often misused (most often normal). It’s really good to know which to use when
