Integrated cumulative distribution function on a bounded interval
ID: integrated-cumulative-distribution-function-on-a-bounded-interval
If a random variable takes values in , its cumulative distribution function satisfiesIndeed for every outcome. Taking expected values and using Tonelli's theorem proves the formula, including when the probability distribution has atoms. For a probability density function , the same proof reverses the order in . Thus , restricted to , is a probability density function whenever . The reflected construction using has normalising constant and is closely related to an integrated tail distribution.
