probability density function cumulative distribution function I generally use lower case for pdf and upper case for CDF, but this is far from universal.

What are pdf and cdf in statistics in simple words?

lets say you roll 2 dice... pdf would tell you what the chance was of a getting a sum of 7 cdf would tell you what the chances of getting a sum of 7 or below


What is the distribution of area under a curve?

In terms of probability theory, the cumulative distribution function (cdf) is the result of the summation or integration of the probability density function (pdf). The cdf F(a) is the area under the pdf from its lower limit to a. I hope I am responding to your question. If not, perhaps you can clarify it and resubmit it.


Standard normal distribution formula?

There is the normal probability density function (pdf) which is given in the attached link. The normal probability cumulative distribution function (cdf) is used to calculate probabilities, and there is no closed form equation for this. Many statistical programs have the cdf built in. Some references are given at the end of the link to find approximate cdf. The cdf, is usually written F(x) and the pdf f(x). F(x) is the integral of f(x) from minus infinity to x.


What does cdf stand for?

What is the difference between probability distribution functions and probability density functions?

Probability density function (PDF) of a continuous random variable is a function that describes the relative likelihood for this random variable to occur at a point in the observation space. The PDF is the derivative of the probability distribution (also known as cummulative distriubution function (CDF)) which described the enitre range of values (distrubition) a continuous random variable takes in a domain. The CDF is used to determine the probability a continuous random variable occurs any (measurable) subset of that range. This is performed by integrating the PDF over some range (i.e., taking the area under of CDF curve between two values). NOTE: Over the entire domain the total area under the CDF curve is equal to 1. NOTE: A continuous random variable can take on an infinite number of values. The probability that it will equal a specific value is always zero. eg. Example of CDF of a normal distribution: If test scores are normal distributed with mean 100 and standard deviation 10. The probability a score is between 90 and 110 is: P( 90 < X < 110 ) = P( X < 110 ) - P( X < 90 ) = 0.84 - 0.16 = 0.68. ie. AProximately 68%.

Generally how do you fit a function to an EDF and CDF and is there a generic equation?

You can fit a function to an EDF and CDF through algebra. There is no generic equation.


Can you copy a pdf into a PowerPoint?

If you mean the words in the PowerPoint; then, you can just copy and paste them. If you mean the pdf itself; no, you can't, but you can convert the pdf to a word document or a picture and put it in then.
