*'''Comment''' Is there any evidence that "cumulative density function" has ever meant anything else than "cumulative distribution function", anywhere? —[[User:St.nerol|St.Nerol]] ([[User talk:St.nerol|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/St.nerol|contribs]]) 20:25, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
* Option '''A''': Someone looking for a "cumulative density function" is clearly looking for something cumulative, or they wouldn't have included an extra word to express that. No hatnote seems necessary to me; it seems like just a misnomer but not really unclear. (It also doesn't seem common, so not worth the clutter.) —⁠ ⁠[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 17:07, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
* David Eppstein wrote: "If there are only two topics to disambiguate and one of them is primary" etc. I don't think that rule was intended for cases where the title of the article is a complete misnomer and oxymoron, like "cumulative density function."
