Proposition (distribution of a decreasing function) Let be a random variable with support and distribution function . Let be strictly decreasing on the support of . Then, the support of isand the distribution function of is ProofTherefore, also in the case of a decreasing function, knowledge of...
Section 3.1 introduces the formal definitions of random variable and its distribution, illustrated by several examples. The main properties of distribution functions, including a characterisation theorem for them, are presented in Sect. 3.2. This is followed by listing and briefly discussing the key un...

The distribution function (d.f.) or cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) F of a random variable X is the function F(x)=Pr(X≤x) for −∞<x<∞ Importance: Always valid to describe the distribution of a RV Property ...
3.7 Distributions and induced distribution functions 3.7节我们介绍分布以及分布函数,注意到之前我们讨论的内容是不涉及概率测度的,那么这一节我们会引入概率测度,导出随机变量的分布函数。 3.7.1 Case I: Random variables 首先来看一维情况 我们知道P是可测空间\left( \Omega,\mathcal{A}\right)其上的一个概率测...
The cumulative distribution function (cdf) FX(x) of a random variable X is defined as follows: (4.9)FXx=PX≤x,for−∞<x<∞. The event X≤x and its probability vary as x is varied (i.e., FX(x) is a function of the variable x). The cdf of a random variable always exists, ...
