Line 71:
:But what do you get when you accumulate a density function? To me, "a cumulative density function" seems like a not-totally-stupid answer. It's true that that function isn't itself a density function, but English — even mathematical English — is not necessarily so tidy as for that to be a fatal objection.
:Given that reasoning, I'm uncomfortable calling all the "otherwise respectable writers" wrong in Wikivoice. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 22:51, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
::Sorry, I haven't been around for a few days. So can I check, {{u|Trovatore}}, do you feel that our original concern (that this term is a mistake) is actually wrong, and the fact that it's been used by so many people means we have to regard it as a valid name for the function, unless we can find a couple of reliable people saying specifically that it's an error? If so, {{u|Michael Hardy}}, do you know of a source that says so? I appreciate this can be very difficult; it's often hard to find a source that says something that most people in a field believe is obvious.
