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...
