1: 7.1 Special Notation
The notations P ( z ) , Q ( z ) , and Φ ( z ) are used in mathematical statistics, where these functions are called the normal or Gaussian probability functions.
2: 35.9 Applications
In multivariate statistical analysis based on the multivariate normal distribution, the probability density functions of many random matrices are expressible in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions of matrix argument F q p , with p 2 and q 1 . …
3: 7.20 Mathematical Applications
For applications in statistics and probability theory, also for the role of the normal distribution functions (the error functions and probability integrals) in the asymptotics of arbitrary probability density functions, see Johnson et al. (1994, Chapter 13) and Patel and Read (1982, Chapters 2 and 3).

    §8.23 Statistical Applications
    The functions P ( a , x ) and Q ( a , x ) are used extensively in statistics as the probability integrals of the gamma distribution; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 337–414). Particular forms are the chi-square distribution functions; see Johnson et al. (1994, pp. 415–493). The function B x ( a , b ) and its normalization I x ( a , b ) play a similar role in statistics in connection with the beta distribution; see Johnson et al. (1995, pp. 210–275). …
    6: 18.39 Applications in the Physical Sciences
    These eigenfunctions are quantum wave-functions whose absolute values squared give the probability density of finding the single particle at hand at position x in the n th eigenstate, namely that probability is P ( x x + Δ x ) = | ψ n ( x ) | 2 Δ ( x ) , Δ ( x ) being a localized interval on the x -axis. … If Ψ ( x , t = 0 ) = χ ( x ) is an arbitrary unit normalized function in the domain of then, by self-adjointness, … All are written in the same form as the product of three factors: the square root of a weight function w ( x ) , the corresponding OP or EOP, and constant factors ensuring unit normalization. … The bound state L 2 eigenfunctions of the radial Coulomb Schrödinger operator are discussed in §§18.39(i) and 18.39(ii), and the δ -function normalized (non- L 2 ) in Chapter 33, where the solutions appear as Whittaker functions. … The weight functions for both the attractive and repulsive cases are now unit normalized, see Bank and Ismail (1985), and Ismail (2009). …

    §19.31 Probability Distributions
    R G ( x , y , z ) and R F ( x , y , z ) occur as the expectation values, relative to a normal probability distribution in 2 or 3 , of the square root or reciprocal square root of a quadratic form. …
