Integrating the probability density function from its lower endpoint to gives the cumulative distribution functionIt is continuous and strictly increasing on the support. Hence the unique median satisfies , or . Therefore
Integrating the first probability density function gives the cumulative distribution functionIts graph is a straight ramp from to , followed by a horizontal plateau.
The graph of the positive-delay probability density function is a horizontal segment at height from to , followed by zero from to . Values at individual endpoints do not affect probabilities. The separate atom at zero is not a finite-height part of this density graph.
The companion cumulative distribution function in the figure is for , for , and for . Its jump at zero displays the discrete part without confusing density height with probability mass.
For , integrate the probability density function to obtain the cumulative distribution functionIf , the requested probability is . Since the hyperbolic tangent is odd, this givesThe second case matters because the question places no sign restriction on : the event is empty when its upper endpoint is nonpositive. Using an oriented integral from to a negative would give a negative number, not a probability.
For a nonnegative integer , add the probabilities of the disjoint events with goals. The cumulative distribution function is
The angular interval has width , so its continuous uniform distribution has probability density functionIntegrating this probability density function gives the cumulative distribution functionValues of the probability density function at the two individual endpoints may be assigned arbitrarily without changing any probability.
The tangent function is strictly increasing on the angular interval. Thus is equivalent, up to the zero-probability endpoints, to . Substituting into the angular cumulative distribution function givesIts limits are zero and one at the two infinite endpoints. This is the construction in which the tangent of a uniform angle has a Cauchy distribution.
Differentiate the cumulative distribution function using the chain rule:This is a Cauchy distribution with location zero and scale . The probability density function is nonnegative and integrates to .
Let be the cumulative distribution function of . Normalisation of the proposed probability density function requires . The integrated cumulative distribution function on a bounded interval identity givesFor a direct symmetry proof, the continuous symmetric probability distribution satisfies . HenceIn particular is nonnegative and has total integral one over its stated support.
The full cumulative distribution function isThus the function graph is horizontal at zero for , rises continuously from to , and is horizontal at one for . Its derivative is positive on and zero at both endpoints. The second derivative changes sign at , giving an inflection point there.
The probability density function is the derivative of the cumulative distribution function:It is nonnegative and has integral . This is a beta distribution with parameters and .
At the mode, the cumulative distribution function has valueSince is strictly increasing on , its unique crossing of occurs earlier. Therefore the median is less than the mode.
The requested bounds are and , both within the support. Since the probability distribution is continuous, endpoints have zero probability, and subtraction of the cumulative distribution function givesThis leaves the answer in rational fractions as requested.
Keep general initially, since the final part does not explicitly fix it. For , where , the cumulative distribution function isThe normalization constant in the probability density function of must beEquivalently, the integrated cumulative distribution function on a bounded interval identity gives . If the assumption from part (c) is retained, the requested special case is . For the value in part (b), it is .
Write , with . Applying polar coordinates and Fubini's theorem gives, for bounded nonnegative measurable ,Also by absolute continuity of measures. Extending by zero on the negative half-line proves
Both radial pushforward measures have compact support of a measure, so Brenier's theorem on the line supplies a unique optimal transport plan and a transport map , unique -almost everywhere, withIn one dimension, the gradient of a convex function is a nondecreasing function. Nonnegativity holds -almost everywhere because is carried by . To choose a nonnegative, nondecreasing representative everywhere, let be the radial cumulative distribution functions and use the monotone rearrangementAt set , and at use the largest point of the support of a measure . These choices preserve monotonicity and boundedness. Since is continuous, has the uniform distribution on when has law , and the quantile function sends this uniform distribution to . Thus this representative has the required pushforward measure, even if the target has atoms.
By continuity of the cumulative distribution function and nonnegativity, ; strict increase and allow inversion for every . The probability integral transform follows fromThus is uniformly distributed on .
The order statistics arrange the sample increasingly: . Strict monotonicity means is the th order statistic of independent uniform variables. Its density isobtained by choosing the observations below and the above it. This is the beta distribution with parameters , soFor the given log-logistic distribution, rearrangement givesConsequently plot vertically against horizontally. Under a good fit, replacing by its plotting position gives an approximate straight line withThis is a diagnostic probability plot, rather than an assertion that the expectation of the nonlinear transformed order statistic equals that transformed plotting position. Positive observations occur almost surely under the model.
The central limit theorem states that for independent identically distributed variables of finite mean and positive finite variance ,For a continuous strictly increasing cumulative distribution function, its inverse is defined on . Thus for , proving the uniform law.
If , then for , . Hence , an exponential density of rate one. Its first two moments are one and two, by integration by parts, so and .
Although the original variables may have different distributions, their separate transforms are independent and all uniform. Consequently are independent identically distributed exponentials of rate one, and the statistic is exactlyThe stated central limit theorem therefore yields .
For , the geometric distribution tail givesFor , . The limiting cumulative distribution function is therefore for negative and for nonnegative , and it is continuous everywhere. This proveswith rate parameter and mean .
