'''''Cumulative density function''''' is a self-contradictory phrase resulting from confusion between:

* [[probability density function]], and

* [[cumulative distribution function]].

The two words ''cumulative'' and ''density'' contradict each other. The value of a density function in an interval about a point depends only on probabities of sets in arbitrarily small neighborhoods of that point, so it is not cumulative.
