The distribution of a random variable...
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 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, ...
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...
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 chi-square distribution gives the probability for a continuous random variable bounded on the left tail. The probability function has a shape parameter v (degrees of freedom), a mean of v, and a variance of 2v. Values of the χ2 characteristic are obtained from a table such as Table...

2. 随机变量(Random Variable):数学定义上,其是从样本空间到实数的映射,使得每个实验结果对应一个数值。例如,掷骰子的结果可用随机变量表示为实数1-6。3. 概率分布(Probability Distribution):描述随机变量所有可能取值及其对应的概率。例如,公平骰子的概率分布中,每个数值的概率是1/6。分布可以是离散型(如二项分布)...
ExampleABernoulli random variableis an example of a discrete random variable. It can take only two values: with probability and with probability , where . Its support is . Its probability mass function is Probability mass functions are characterized by two fundamental properties. ...
