:::Fine, except it doesn't seem true that it's sometimes used to mean probability density function. Is it, really? Otherwise, it seems better to have the essay gone, but still include some soft wording about a likely mix-up of terms? —[[User:St.nerol|St.Nerol]] ([[User talk:St.nerol|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/St.nerol|contribs]]) 15:46, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
::::I don't think it is, except by mistake, and a mistake of a different category than the one Michael Hardy is calling a mistake. The best solution, in my opinion, is to redirect to [[cumulative distribution function]] without comment. If Michael wants to put {{tl|R from incorrect name}} on the redirect I probably wouldn't fight it. But if we're going to have anything like the essay that was there previously, it needs to be specifically sourced by an RSS that says specifically that it's an error and for the reasons given. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 18:41, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
:::::I support a redirect. But until we have one, I disagree with the current statement that "cumulative density function" is sometimes used to mean "probability density function". I don't think anyone in this discussion believe that to be true? —[[User:St.nerol|St.Nerol]] ([[User talk:St.nerol|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/St.nerol|contribs]]) 22:37, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
