Lecture 4: Random Variables and Distributions

Lecture 4: RandomVariables and DistributionsGoals Working with Distributions in R Overview of discrete and continuousdistributions important in genetics/genomics Random VariablesRandom Variables ! "01-1A rv is any rule ( , function) that associatesa number with each outcome in the samplespaceTwo Types of Random Variables A discrete Random variable has acountable number of possible values A continuous Random variable takes allvalues in an interval of numbersProbability Distributions of RVsDiscreteLet X be a discrete rv. Then the probability mass function (pmf), f(x),of X is:! f(x)=P(X = x), x 0,x Continuous! P(a"X"b)=f(x)dxab#Let X be a continuous rv.
