What is cumulative distribution function?
The cumulative distribution function is used to describe the probability distribution of random variables. It can be used to describe the probability for a discrete, continuous or mixed variable. It is obtained by summing up the probability density function and getting the cumulative probability for a random variable.
What is the difference between pdf and CDF?
Probability Density Function (PDF) vs Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) The CDF is the probability that random variable values less than or equal to x whereas the PDF is a probability that a random variable, say X, will take a value exactly equal to x.
What does CDF mean in statistics?
Definition. The cumulative distribution function (cdf) gives the probability that the random variable X is less than or equal to x and is usually denoted F(x) . The cumulative distribution function of a random variable X is the function given by F(x)=P[X≤x].
