CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function) <Back to Last Page>     <Full Glossary>

Definition of CDF (Cumulative Distribution Function): CDF is short for cumulative distribution function. This function describes a statistical distribution. It has the value, at each possible outcome, of the probability of receiving that outcome or a lower one. A cdf is usually denoted in capital letters.

Consider for example some F(x), with x a real number is the probability of receiving a draw less than or equal to x. A particular form of F(x) will describe the normal distribution, or any other unidimensional distribution. (Econterms)
