Abstract
Chapter 9 deals with probability density functions and their application to geology problems. It defines probability distributions and probability density functions, and introduces meaningful probability density functions in geology. Examples are the normal and log-normal distributions. Chapter 9 ends by showing how to perform a probability density estimation.
