  1. statistics - What is CDF - Cumulative distribution function ...

    Jul 19, 2011 · The CDF's are the black and blue lines, whereas the survival function (1-CDF) is the orange line. The likelihood of finding 200 mm of rainfall is related to a probability distribution.

  2. Help me understand the quantile (inverse CDF) function

    May 16, 2016 · The CDF (cumulative distribution function) is more convenient as the function plotted is increasing along the x-axis and the y-axis. Extracting the quantile, that is, the variate from CDF is …

  3. distributions - Finding the PDF given the CDF - Cross Validated

    Jul 19, 2010 · How can I find the PDF (probability density function) of a distribution given the CDF (cumulative distribution function)?

  4. probability - How do I find the cumulative distribution function of a ...

    How would I find the cumulative distribution function of a binomial? I know I'd have to integrate it with its given parameters but how would someone go about doing that?

  5. calculus - How is the derivative of the CDF of a random variable $X ...

    This function, $F (x)$, is called the "cumulative distribution function," or CDF. It is defined in this manner, so the relationship between CDF and PDF is not coincidental -- it is by design.

  6. Solving for the CDF of the Geometric Probability Distribution

  7. Derivation and meaning of 1 minus the cumulative distribution?

    Aug 30, 2020 · @Sergio thanks for the derivation. is the meaning that $1-F (X)$ is just the other 'half' of the CDF? and what is the condition after $:$ saying? it just ensures that the CDF and its 'other half' …

  8. Variance formula in terms of the CDF for a continuous nonnegative ...

    Aug 31, 2015 · Is there a formula for the variance of a (continuous, non-negative) random variable in terms of its CDF? The only place I saw such formula was is Wikipedia's page for the Variance …

  9. How to calculate cumulative distribution in R? - Cross Validated

    Jun 21, 2012 · I need to calculate the cumulative distribution function of a data sample. Is there something similar to hist() in R that measure the cumulative density function? I have tries ecdf() but i …

  10. estimation - What is the proper way to estimate the CDF for a ...

    The ECDF has many nice properties such as being strongly consistent (pointwise even) to the CDF. Since you have a discrete approximation of a continuous distribution you can generate quantiles that …
