In probability theory, the normal (or Gaussian) distribution is a very commonly occurring continuous probability distribution\u2014that is, a function that tells the probability of a number in some context falling between any two real numbers. For example, the distribution of income measured on a log scale is in some contexts normally distributed, as is often the distribution of grades on a test administered to a large number of people. Normal distributions are extremely important in statistics, and are often used in the natural and social sciences for real-valued random variables whose distributions are not known.<\/p>\n

The holding return period formula was introduced previously when discussing time-weighted return measurement. The same formula applies when applied to frequency distributions<\/p>\n

(Descriptions changed slightly).<\/p>\n

Rt\u00a0= [(Pt\u00a0-Pt-1+Dt)\/Pt-1]\n

Where:<\/p>\n

Rt\u00a0= holding period return for time period (t)<\/p>\n

Pt\u00a0= price of asset at end of time period t<\/p>\n

Pt – 1\u00a0= price of asset at end of time period (t – 1)<\/p>\n

Dt\u00a0= cash distributions received during time t<\/p>\n
