Talk:Scale parameter

can any body explain scale parameters in simpler form

Poor definition
The definition doesn't take into account: Olaf m (talk) 20:01, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * other possible parameters (there is only one in the formulas)
 * discrete distributions (with no density function). The definition should use cdf instead.
 * distributions with expected value different than 0. According to the current definition standard deviation is a scale parameter of the normal distribution only if &mu;=0
 * multivariate distributions


 * Done 3 of above 4: still leaves multivariate distributions Melcombe (talk) 09:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
