We review and discuss numerical inversion of the characteristic function as a tool for obtaining cumulative distribution functions. With the availability of high-speed computing and symbolic ...

A re-expression of the usual representation of the multinomial distribution as the conditional distribution of independent Poisson random variables given fixed sum provides a convenient new way to ...

With the current interest in copula methods, and fat-tailed or other non-normal distributions, it is appropriate to investigate technologies for managing marginal distributions of interest. We explore ...

This section introduces the CDFPLOT statement with a simple example. A company that produces fiber optic cord is interested in the breaking strength of the cord. The following statements create a data ...
