Cumulative Density Function (CDF)
- FX(x) = P(X <= x) = integral(-inf to inf) fX(y) dy
- 1 - FX(x) = P(X > x)
limx-> -inf FX(x) = 0 limx-> inf FX(x) = 1
Exponential RV
PDF: fX(x) = $ \lambda*e^{-\lambda*x} $, x >= 0 ; fX(x) = 0 , else
CDF: FX(x) = $ 1-e^{-\lambda*x} $
- E[X] = 1/$ \lambda $ , var(X) = 1/($ \lambda)^2 $
PDF Properties
- $ f_X(x)\geq 0 $ for all x
- $ \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty}f_X(x)dx = 1 $
- If $ \delta $ is very small, then
$ P([x,x+\delta]) \approx f_X(x)\cdot\delta $
- For any subset B of the real line,
$ P(X\in B) = \int\limits_Bf_X(x)dx $
