A <span class="emphasis"><em>DistributionType</em></span> is a type that implements the following
conceptual requirements, and encapsulates a statistical distribution.
</p>
<p>
Please note that this documentation should not be used as a substitute for
the <a class="link" href="dist_ref.html" title="Statistical Distributions Reference">reference documentation</a>, and
<a class="link" href="stat_tut.html" title="Statistical Distributions Tutorial">tutorial</a> of the statistical distributions.

<p>
In the following table, <span class="emphasis"><em>d</em></span> is an object of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">DistributionType</span></code>, <span class="emphasis"><em>cd</em></span>
is an object of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">const</span> <span class="identifier">DistributionType</span></code>
and <span class="emphasis"><em>cr</em></span> is an object of a type convertible to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">RealType</span></code>.
