[[User:Klbrain\|Klbrain]] ([[User talk:Klbrain\|talk]]) 10:15, 24 June 2021 (UTC) {{resolved}} == Long-winded intro == The concept is pretty simple: to generate a random sample X with CDF, you can take Y from a uniform distribution and transform it via X = invCDF(Y). I think the intro should be much more concise, and clearly get to the point. I shouldn't need to dig through the article for 2 minutes to figure out how inverse transform sampling works. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures\|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Azmisov\|Azmisov]] ([[User talk:Azmisov#top\|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Azmisov\|contribs]]) 20:04, 21 December 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
