Inverting cumulative distribution.


laim

Suppose a random variable $X$ is given by a distribution density function $p\left( x\right) $ : MATH Let $F\left( x\right) $ be the cumulative distribution of $X$ : MATH The MATH is the inverse function of $F$ : MATH . The variable MATH has the same distribution as $X$ .

Proof

Indeed, MATH MATH MATH
