Computable Document Format (CDF) is an electronic document format [1] designed to allow authoring dynamically generated, interactive content. [2] CDF was created by Wolfram Research , and CDF files can be created using Mathematica . [ 3 ]
Cumulative distribution function for the exponential distribution Cumulative distribution function for the normal distribution. In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a real-valued random variable, or just distribution function of , evaluated at , is the probability that will take a value less than or equal to .
In statistics, an empirical distribution function (commonly also called an empirical cumulative distribution function, eCDF) is the distribution function associated with the empirical measure of a sample. [1] This cumulative distribution function is a step function that jumps up by 1/n at each of the n data points. Its value at any specified ...
The cumulative distribution function (shown as F(x)) gives the p values as a function of the q values. The quantile function does the opposite: it gives the q values as a function of the p values. Note that the portion of F(x) in red is a horizontal line segment.
In probability theory and statistics, the Rayleigh distribution is a continuous probability distribution for nonnegative-valued random variables.Up to rescaling, it coincides with the chi distribution with two degrees of freedom.
Because of the factorial function in the denominator of the PDF and CDF, the Erlang distribution is only defined when the parameter k is a positive integer. In fact, this distribution is sometimes called the Erlang- k distribution (e.g., an Erlang-2 distribution is an Erlang distribution with k = 2 {\displaystyle k=2} ).
The uniform distribution is useful for sampling from arbitrary distributions. A general method is the inverse transform sampling method, which uses the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the target random variable. This method is very useful in theoretical work.
Its complementary cumulative distribution function is a stretched exponential function. The Weibull distribution is related to a number of other probability distributions; in particular, it interpolates between the exponential distribution ( k = 1) and the Rayleigh distribution ( k = 2 and λ = 2 σ {\displaystyle \lambda ={\sqrt {2}}\sigma } ).
