Pearson System
A system of equation types obtained by generalizing the differential equation for the normal distribution

which has solution

to

which has solution
![y=C(a+bx+cx^2)^(-1/(2c))exp[((b+2cm)tan^(-1)((b+2cx)/(sqrt(4ac-b^2))))/(csqrt(4ac-b^2))].](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/PearsonSystem/NumberedEquation4.gif) |

Let
,
be the roots of
. Then the possible types of curves are
0.
,
. E.g., normal distribution.
I.
,
. E.g., beta distribution.
II.
,
,
where
.
III.
,
,
where
. E.g., gamma distribution. This case is intermediate to cases I and VI.
IV.
,
.
V.
,
where
. Intermediate to cases IV and VI.
VI.
,
where
is the larger root. E.g., beta prime distribution.
VII.
,
,
. E.g., Student's t-distribution.
Classes IX-XII are discussed in Pearson (1916). See also Craig (in Kenney and Keeping 1951).
If a Pearson curve possesses a mode, it will be at
. Let
at
and
, where these may be
or
. If
also vanishes at
,
, then the
th moment and
th moments exist.

giving
![[y(ax^r+bx^(r+1)+cx^(r+2))]_(c_1)^(c_2)-int_(c_1)^(c_2)y[arx^(r-1)+b(r+1)x^r+c(r+2)x^(r+1)]dx
=int_(c_1)^(c_2)y(mx^r-x^(r+1))dx](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/PearsonSystem/NumberedEquation6.gif) |
(6)
|
![0-int_(c_1)^(c_2)y[arx^(r-1)+b(r+1)x^r+c(r+2)x^(r+1)]dx=int_(c_1)^(c_2)y(mx^r-x^(r+1))dx.](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/PearsonSystem/NumberedEquation7.gif) |

Now define the raw
th moment by
 |
(8)
|
so combining (7) with (8) gives
 |
(9)
|
For
,
 |
(10)
|
so
 |
(11)
|
and for
,
 |
(12)
|
so
 |
(13)
|
Combining (11), (13), and the definitions
obtained by letting
and solving simultaneously gives
and
. Writing
 |
(16)
|
then allows the general recurrence to be written
![(1-3c)ralpha_(r-1)-mralpha_r+[c(r+2)-1]alpha_(r+1)=0.](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/PearsonSystem/NumberedEquation15.gif) |
(17)
|
For the special cases
and
, this gives
 |
(18)
|
 |
(19)
|
so the skewness and kurtosis excess are
The parameters
,
, and
can therefore be written
where
