Abstract Parton distribution functions consistent with neutrino and muon deep inelastic scattering as well as Drell-Yan pair production results have been extracted. This analysis incorporates experimental systematic errors which are the dominant errors in recent deep inelastic scattering experiments. The dependence of the results on factors such as kinematic cuts in the data, heavy target corrections, and choice of initial functional form are also explored. The form adopted is motivated by perturbative QCD and particularly useful in exploring the small-x extrapolation of the distributions. This is crucial for studying the range of predictions for Collider, HERA, and SSC/LHC cross sections. Representative distribution function sets are presented in a very compact parametrized form both in the DIS and MS-bar renormalization schemes.
