Everything about Tukey lambda distribution
Symmetric probability distribution
Formalized by John Tukey, the Tukey lambda distribution is a continuous, symmetric probability distribution defined in terms of its quantile function. It is typically used to identify an appropriate distribution and not used in statistical models directly. Wikipedia →
