LOR15: The cumulative distribution function of a random variable

April 12, 2025·14 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, we continue laying the foundations of our mathematical treatment of risk. In particular, we introduce the cumulative distribution function, or CDF, as a tool for describing the probabilistic behavior of a random variable. We illustrate this with a simple example and discuss the basic characteristics of this interesting non-decreasing function, which will soon help us address very practical matters.Are you ready to take the risk and follow Galileo's suggestion?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-logic-of-risk--6469023/support.
