Inverse Gaussian (Wald) Distribution

Catherine Forbes, Merran Evans, Nicholas Anthony John Hastings, Brian Peacock

Abstract

The inverse Gaussian (Wald) distribution has applications in the study of diffusion processes and as a lifetime distribution model. This chapter illustrates the probability density function for the I: 1, λ variate for selected values of the scale parameter λ. It describes variate relationships and parameter estimation for inverse Gaussian (Wald) distribution. Controlled Vocabulary Terms control variate; inverse Gaussian distribution; probability density function
