| Feb 18, 2012 at 1:59 | comment | added | meh | i believe that normal disto's are essentially unique in being determined by their mean and standard deviation. This has huge practical computational advantages. Finally they seem to 'occur in nature' which makes them important because they are useful for real world modeling. | |
