Line 207:

In the paragraph beginning "Suppose is [[Normal distribution|normal distributed]]. Then the CDF of  is given by" there is an error. The dummy variable "x" is used as the function argument F(x) rather than the upper limit of integration, "t". I will edit to make this F(t).

:@[[User:Joe gattGatt|joeJoe gattGatt]] This edit and thread was created by me, I just hadn't logged in. Your edit was incorrect. I think you were confused by the notation - it's OK to have F(x) = int ^ x. What wouldn't be OK would be to have F(X) = int ^ X as a CDF definition (see [[Probability integral transform]]). Technically, X is a function of a probability space. Under certain restrictions, X(w) = x where w is in some original psp and x is in the support or range of the function X.

:As written, the CDF definition is back to being correct. [[User:Chjacamp|Chjacamp]] ([[User talk:Chjacamp|talk]]) 00:20, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
