Abstract
For a partition , we let , the parity difference of , be the number of odd parts of minus the number of even parts of . We prove for an asymptotic expansion for the number of partitions of into distinct parts with normalised parity difference greater than as . As a corollary, we find the distribution of the parity differences and parity biases for partitions of into distinct parts. We also establish analogous results for generalised parity differences modulo .
