pdf, cdf and moments of distributions

[wrongsaidfred]

Hi David,

What pdf and cdf functions do we need to memorize?

Also, do we need to memorize any formulas or values for moments of other distributions besides the ones you mentioned in the quant videos? Some of the other readings had formulas (or exact values) for skewness and kurtosis for Weibull, gamma, and other distributions.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi David/Suzanne,

I want to see the response to the above query but several viewthreads such as the above seem to be broken.

Hi RiskNoob, I just fixed the link, which pointed to http://forum.bionicturtle.com/threads/memorizing-facts-about-distributions.4693/#post-12380
(we upgraded the forum several months ago, so old links before that were broken ... a price we paid for the superior forum that we now have). Thanks,
