Distribution Explorer

Quant interviewers ask which distribution fits a real situation (option payoffs, queue arrivals, default counts) before they ask you to derive its moments. Drag the parameters here until the PDF and CDF shapes are wired into your intuition.

Drag the sliders. Watch the PDF and CDF respond. Click any tile to switch distributions. Each one links to its full tutorial.
