Talk:Location parameter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Poor definition

The definition shuold be expressed in terms of cumulative distribution functions. In the current form it is applicable to continuous distributions only. Moreover it seems to assume, the location parameter is the only one in the family of distributions. Olaf m (talk) 18:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

You're right. I've expanded somewhat based on your comments. However, I think it is easier to understand the concept in terms of probability densities or probability mass functions, so I've used that terminology instead of cumulative distributions. --Zvika (talk) 07:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
