Standard parametric models

Parametric models aim to describe probability distributions of a random variable with the aid of a limited number of parameters . Therefore, in the case of continuous variables (i.e. where all possible values are continuous), this means that the probability density of can be expressed as . In the case of discrete variables (i.e. those which take only discrete values), their probabilities can be described in the form .
