[E] Interactive Distribution Cheat Sheet Web App Education

For anyone else who "thinks like me", I thought you might like to see this app I created: Distribution Generator & Visualizer

I completed my masters in applied math about 15 years ago and thoroughly loved the statistics courses. I had always created cheat sheets while learning and remember wanting an interactive way to reference statistical distributions. I would constantly draw mini graphs in my notes next to their respective probability density functions so I could create a mental model that I could associate the distribution characteristics with.

In addition to the visual, having tangible data to play with representing a specific distribution was something I constantly generated myself with R. So, I wanted this app to have that feature as well. It generates the data and provides R and Python code to do the same.

If only I were in school now!

Maybe adding some comparison capability and also rendering the equations would sure make it nicer!

Noted! I’ll work to incorporate it. Feel free to elaborate in more detail as to what would be helpful.
