Probability distribution standards
I have made an first cut at some standards for probability distribution articles into the WikiProject Probability page. Can we get a consensus on this? I would like to start standardizing the discrete probability distribution articles, at least the PMF and CMF names, and method of handling parameters. MarkSweep has suggested the talk page for this project Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Probability as a good place to discuss these standards. PAR 14:03, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

"cumulative density"?
I deleted the redirect page you created in March called cumulative density function. Density would not be called density if it were not strictly local and not cumulative. If there is to be such a page, it should explain why one would have to misunderstand both words, which contradict each other, in order to think the phrase makes sense, and then point to two pages, one using each word.

 * I restored the redirect for reasons I will state shortly on Talk:Cumulative distribution function. You were bold, but now is the time for talk as I disagree. Cburnett 14:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
