| Bivariate normality | Statistics | A particular form of distribution of two variables that has the traditional "bell" shape (but not all bell-shaped distributions are normal). If plotted in three-dimensional space, with the vertical axis showing the number of cases, the shape would be that of a three-dimensional bell (if the variances on both variables were equal) or a "fireman's hat" (if the variances were unequal).
