In many instances, the probability density function (pdf) of a function of a random variable is obtained from the pdf of the random variable, the inverse function and the derivative of this inverse. The formula tends to be memorized rather than fully understood. This article describes how we ...

We define a median of a random variable X with the distribution function F (x) as a real number a = (X ) ∈ R, for which 1 1 P {X ≤ a} ≥ and P {X ≥ a} ≥ . 2 2 Expressed by means of the distribution function it follows that a ∈ R is a median, if 1 1 F ...

Example of a Probability Density Function (PDF) The probability density function measures continuous variables. Having said that, it's important to note that stock and investment returns are generally not continuous random variables. Rather, they are discrete. However, most financial analysts assume th...
