For the more general family of Lévy alpha-stable distributions, of which this distribution is a special case, see stable distribution.
In probability theory and statistics, the Lévy distribution, named after Paul Lévy, is a continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. In spectroscopy, this distribution, with frequency as the dependent variable, is known as a van der Waals profile.[note 1] It is a special case of the inverse-gamma distribution. It is a stable distribution.
