Suppose r.v X~f where the p.d.f, f, is given by f(x) =4x^3, 0<=x<=1 = 0 , otherwise Use the probability Integral Transformation Theorem to show that r.v X^4~U[0,1] Please give detailed explanation.. Thanks |

The function f gives the probability for an interval of infinitesimal width dx, so that the definition of f is P(x<X<x+dx) = f(x) dx for 0<x<1. The integral of f is F = x^4, which is the cumulative probability, i.e. P(X<x) = F(x), for 0<x<1. The function F is monotonic over the support [0, 1], so P(X < x) implies P(F(X) < F(x)). Define u = F(x). This gives P(F(X) < u ) = u. This is true for 0<x<1 so for 0<u<1. This is the definition of a uniform (0,1) rv. So, defining a new rv U = F(X), this shows that U is uniform(0,1). |
