cumulative distribution function

Mathematics
  • For a random variable X, the cumulative distribution function (or cdf) is the function FX defined by FX(x) = Pr(X ≤ x). Thus, for a discrete random variable,

    FX(x)=xixp(xi),

    where pX is the probability mass function, and, for a continuous random variable, with a probability density function fX, then FX(x)=xfX(t)dt.


Statistics
  • The function F, for a random variable X, defined for all real values of x by cumulative distribution functionClearly, F(−∞)=0, and F(∞)=1, where F(−∞) and F(∞) are the limits of F(x) as x tends to −∞ and ∞, respectively. This function is a non-decreasing function such that if x2>x1 then F(x2)≥F(x1). If X is a continuous random variable then F is a continuous function, and conversely. If X has probability density function f thencumulative distribution functionand f(x)=F′(x), where F′(x) denotes the derivative of F(x).

    A useful property of F is that, for any value of x, there is a corresponding value u, 0≤u≤1, such that cumulative distribution function

    In the case where F is a continuous and increasing function for axb, the random variable U defined by U=F(X) has a continuous uniform distribution on the interval 0≤u≤1, and, for a given value of U, the corresponding value of X is given by F−1(U). See simulation.

    In the case of a discrete random variable, the distribution function is a step function, in which the step at xj is P(X=xj), and F(x) → F(xj) as xxj from above, but F(x) → F(xj−1) as xxj from below.

    cumulative distribution function

    Cumulative distribution function. In each example the probability density function f defined in the interval (a, b) is shown on the left, with the corresponding cumulative distribution function F on the right. The scale from 0 to 1 refers to F.


Computer
  • See probability distributions.


Economics
  • The cdf of a random variable X at point x is the probability that X takes values at or below this point. Hence, F(x) = P[Xx]. The following properties must hold for any cdf: it is a non-decreasing right-continuous function; it tends to 0 at minus infinity and tends to 1 at plus infinity.
