1 Sampling from discrete distributions

1 Sampling from discrete distributionsA discrete random variableXis a random variable that has a probability mass functionp(x) =P(X=x) for anyx S, whereS={x1, x2, .., xk}denotes the sample space, andkis the (possibly infinite) number of possible outcomes for the discrete variableX, andsupposeSis ordered from smaller to larger values. Then the CDF,FforXisF(xj) = i jp(xi) discrete random variables can be generated by slicing up the interval (0,1) into subinter-vals which define apartitionof (0,1):(0, F(x1)),(F(x1), F(x2)),(F(x2), F(x3)).

2 Sampling from continuous distributions Continuous random variables are (informally) those whose sample space is composed of real intervals not exclusively containing integers. In a continuous distribution the prob-ability of taking on any particular value in the sample space in 0; probabilities can only be
