Up there should be four (4) files:
STAT3743_xxxxxx.3gp
(video for mobile phones)
STAT3743_xxxxxx.ogv
(video in Ogg format)
STAT3743_xxxxxx.pdf
(scanned lecture transcript)
STAT3743_xxxxxx.webm
(video in WebM format)
The WebM
video is definitely the highest quality, but
you need a compatible browser/player to watch it.
See How to watch the video for instructions to get one.
Quantile functions
Definition of quantile function:
Q(p) = min{x : F(x) >= p}, 0 < p < 1
Properties:
Special case: normal distribution
Define z_{α}
Examples
z0.025, z0.01, z0.005
The idea
Make a table, accumulate probabilities
Example: X ~ binom
, Y = something
Introduce the formula and conditions
Intuitive formula
Example: X ~ norm
, Y = linear transformation
Fact: if X is any norm then lin. trans. is also normal
Example: X ~ norm
, Y = exp(X) (lognormal)
Introduce the method
Example: X ~ unif(0,1)
, Y = -ln(X) (exponential)
Probability Integral Transform
