Probability distribution function
Appearance
A probability distribution function is some function that may be used to define a particular probability distribution. Depending upon which text is consulted, the term may refer to:
- a cumulative distribution function,
- a probability mass function, and/or
- a probability density function.
The similar term probability function may mean any of the above and, in addition,
- a probability measure function, as in a probability space, where the domain of the function is the set of events.
Roughly, PROBABILITY is how frequently we expect DIFFERENT outcomes to occur if we repeat an EXPERIMENT or an ACT over and over
