  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. Matplotlib 如何生成 CDF 图? - 知乎

    CDF 是一个函数,它的 y 值代表一个随机变量取值小于或等于相应 x 值的概率。 在 Python 中使用 Matplotlib 绘制 CDF CDF 是对连续概率分布和离散概率分布的定义。在连续概率分布中,随机变量可 …

  4. probability - Find expected value using CDF - Cross Validated

    I'm trying to solve the following problem: Let X have the CDF F(x) = 1 − x − α, x ≥ 1. Find E(X) for those values of α for which E(X) exists. How can I determine which values of α exist? What do I do with the …

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

    My initial thought was 'I don't think there is an answer to this question.' Similar to what is written in one of the replies. The idea of a confidence interval about some smooth curve, and then getting narrower as …

  7. probability - Cumulative Distribution function of a Poisson ...

    Sep 18, 2019 · This is because the CDF of Poisson distribution is related to that of a Gamma distribution. Hence the incomplete gamma function.

  8. 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)?

  9. 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?

  10. distributions - Empirical CDF vs CDF - Cross Validated

    Oct 13, 2016 · The CDF is a theoretical construct - it is what you would see if you could take infinitely many samples. The empirical CDF usually approximates the CDF quite well, especially for large …
