Usage
The Template:Infobox probability distribution generates a right-hand side infobox, based on the specified parameters. To use this template, copy the following code in your article and fill in as appropriate: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
</syntaxhighlight>
Parameters
|name=— Name at the top of the infobox; should be the name of the distribution without the word "distribution" in it, e.g. "Normal", "Exponential" (optional)|type=— possible values are "discrete" (or "mass"), "continuous" (or "density"), and "multivariate"|pdf_image=— probability density image-spec, such as:xxx.svg.|pdf_caption=— probability density image caption|pdf_image_alt=— alternative text for the image in|pdf_image=|cdf_image=— cumulative distribution image-spec, such as:yyy.svg.|cdf_caption=— cumulative distribution image caption|cdf_image_alt=— alternative text for the image in|cdf_image=|notation=— typical designation for this distribution, for example Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \mathcal{N}(\mu,\sigma^2)} . The notation should include all the distribution parameters explained in the next cell.|parameters=— parameters of the distribution family (such as μ and σ2 for the normal distribution).|support=— the support of the distribution, which may depend on the parameters. Specify this as <syntaxhighlight lang="tex" inline></syntaxhighlight> for continuous distributions, and as <syntaxhighlight lang="tex" inline>Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle k \in some set} </syntaxhighlight> for discrete distributions.|pdf=— probability density function (or probability mass function), such as: <syntaxhighlight lang="tex" inline>Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\Gamma(r+k)}{k!\Gamma(r)}p^r(1-p)^k} </syntaxhighlight>. Please exclude the function label, such as "ƒ(x; μ,σ2)".|cdf=— cumulative distribution function, e.g.:<math>I_p(r,k+1)\text{ where }I_p(x,y)</math> is the [[regularized incomplete beta function]].|quantile=— quantile function (or inverse cumulative distribution function).

|parameters2=, |support2=, |pdf2=, |cdf2=, |mean2=, |median2=, |mode2=, |variance2=, |mad=, |skewness2=, |kurtosis2=, |entropy2=, |mgf2=, |char2=/|cf2=, |moments2=, |fisher2= are the same as their counterparts above. They should be used when the distribution needs two sets to describe it, e.g. Gamma distribution.
