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.
Help me understand the quantile (inverse CDF) function
May 5, 2017 · This is a model of concise explanation at a certain level and contains an example already. It's unclear what level of explanation you seek. An answer could be 10 times longer than this …
probability - Find expected value using CDF - Cross Validated
@styfle - because that's what a PDF is, whenever the CDF is continuous and differentiable. You can see this by looking at how you have defined your CDF. Differentiating an integral just gives you the …
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.
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 …
