Suppose that Y has pdf given by f(y)=b/(y^2); y>=b, b>0. Suppose also that U has a uniform(0,1) distribution. What must the function g(*) be so that Z=g(U) has the same distribution as Y?
Ans:
The pdf of the uniform distribution is given as,
f(U) = 1/(b-a) where b and a is the upper and lower limit of a uniform distribution,
f(U) = 1(1-0) => 1
Therefore, to get the same distribution of random variable Y the function g(*) must be equal to (b/(y^2)).

A member of the Pareto family of distributions (often used in economics to model income distributions) has a distribution function given by F(y)={1−(b/y)a, y≥b 0, elsewhere, where a,b>0 are parameters. 1. Find the density function f(y) Suppose U has the uniform distribution on the interval [0,1] and find a function G(a,b,u) so that G(a,b,U) has the Pareto distribution with parameters a and b. 2.

Suppose that U is a random variable with a uniform distribution on (0,1). Now suppose that f is the PDF of some continuous random variable of interest, that F is the corresponding CDF, and assume that F is invertible (so that the function F-1 exists and gives a unique value). Show that the random variable X = F-1(U) has PDF f(x)—that is, that X has the desired PDF. Hint: use results on transformations of random variables. This cute result allows...
1. Suppose that X is continuous random variable with PDF f(x) and CDF F(x). (a) Prove that if f(x) > 0 only on a single (possible infinite) interval of the real numbers then F(x) is a strictly increasing function of x over that interval. [Hint: Try proof by contradiction]. (b) Under the conditions described in part (a), find and identify the distribution of Y = F(x). 2. Suppose now that X ~ Uniform(0, 1). For each of the distributions listed...

Suppose that you need to generate a random variable Y with a density function f (y) corresponding to a beta distribution with range [0,1], and with a non-integer shape parameter for the beta distribution. For this case there is no closed-form cdf or inverse cdf. Suppose your choices for generating Y are either: a) an acceptance-rejection strategy with a constant majorizing function g(u) = V over [0, 1], i.e., generate u1 and u2 IID from a U[0,1] generator and accept...
