more distribution

I think the second part of the sentence would be easier to understand and still statistically correct, if the word 'distribution' is omitted and that part of the sentence is reworded as follows: "... and it was clarified that more of the measured values were closer to the center compared to a normal distribution, and (that) their distribution curve had a longer right tail (than would be the case in a normal distribution)."

and the intended meaning is in fact crystal clear.

To start with, it's NOT about "distribution" but about the "distribution curve", the "curve" bit being omitted by the writer for being totally unnecessary and blindingly obvious to anyone who's past Statistics 101.

It simply means that the "distribution curve" of this statistical set when compered to the curve as it would be if this set presented a "normal distribution" is squashed towards the "center/middle" of the distribution curve [or as Kiet Bach put it "taller"]. So more "values" (i.e. elements of the set) are close to the middle, compared to the curve of a "normal distribution".

Could certainly be reworded - in a longer version - but even as it it is it's PERFECTLY UNDERSTANDABLE for anyone with basic knowledge of statistics - which would be anyway the only likely target audience for this text.

Would you bother rewriting a legal text to make it understandable to musicians, or vice versa?

Agree with Tony - it's gobbledegook - my best interpretation would be "more of the distribution", again as Tony's has already said.

This English is checked by a native American.

Oh, OK. I asked because at least some of your previous questions relate to text you've written.

Thank you for your comment.
I did not write this English. A Japanese researcher who have experienced in researching in the United States write it.

Thank you for your comment. I will check the text again.

Is this something you've written yourself? I agree with Tony that the whole thing is difficult to understand, and you can't say 'distributed/distribution' five times in one sentence.

Once again, I can't see why you post questions in English-English rather than English-Japanese.

To be honest, it seems nonsensical — it is not clear what the intended meaning actually is. Whatever, no, it is not correct, you can't say "more distribution".
I think perhaps you mean "more of the distribution" or "a greater part of the distribution" — but as I say, it is far from clear what you are trying to say. I fear this whole text is very clumsy and awkward, to the point that the underlying meaning is confused. I think you may be trying to say that it does not follow a 'normal' distribution (better than "normally distributed"), with fewer values falling in the skirts each side, and the right-hand tail being longer than the other — a "lop-sided distribution"!
