6 Probability Density Functions (PDFs)
www.cs.toronto.eduThere is an important subtlety here: a probability density is not a probability per se. For one thing, there is no requirement that p(x) ≤ 1. Moreover, the probability that x attains any one specific value out of the infinite set of possible values isR always zero, e.g. P(x = 5) = 5 5 p(x)dx = 0 for any PDF p(x).

homepage.stat.uiowa.eduMarginal Probability Density Function If Xand Y are continuous random variables with joint probability density function fXY(x;y), then the marginal density functions for Xand Y are fX(x) = Z y fXY(x;y) dy and fY(y) = Z x fXY(x;y) dx where the rst integral is over all points in the range of (X;Y) for which X = x, and the second integral is over ...
Review of Probability Theory - Stanford University
cs229.stanford.edu2.3 Probability density functions For some continuous random variables, the cumulative distribution function F X(x) is differentiable everywhere. In these cases, we define the Probability Density Function or PDF as the derivative of the CDF, i.e., f X(x) , dF X(x) dx: (2)

ocw.mit.edupeaked at a particular value of x, and the probability density, being its square, is likewise peaked there as well. This is the wavefunction for a particle well localized at a position given by the center of the peak, as the probability density is high there, and the width of the peak is small, so the uncertainty in the position is very small.
The Poisson and Exponential Distributions
neurophysics.ucsd.eduThe Poisson distribution is a discrete distribution with probability mass function P(x)= e−µµx x!, where x = 0,1,2,..., the mean of the distribution is denoted by µ, and e is the exponential. The variance of this distribution is also equal to µ. The exponential distribution is a continuous distribution with probability density function f ...
