  1. Simple stochastic models 2

  2. Continuous random variable X X – can take values: - < x < + Cumulative probability distribution function: PX(x) = P(X  x) Probability density function:

  3. Normal distribution X ~ normal(,), E(X)= , V(X)=  2 pdf: cpdf:

  5. Central limit theorem Y = X1 + X2 + … +Xn Xi - independent, zero mean, equal varianceV If n is large then: ~ normal(0,1)

  9. How do we fit normal distribution to data ? Data: X1, X2, …, Xn

  10. How do we estimate parameters of distributions using data ? • How do we verify that data follow a given distribution ?

  11. Characteristic function X – with pdf p(x) characteristic function:

  12. Properties

  13. Properties Y=aX+b, a,b - constants

  14. Characteristic function of normal distribution X ~ normal(,),

  15. Continuity theorem for characteristic functions

  16. Two dimensional distributions X, Y Probability density function: p(x,y) Cumulative pdf:

  17. Independent random variables X, Y independent pXY(x,y)=pX(x) pY(y) Convolution integral Z=X+Y pZ = pX * pY

  18. Convolution and characteristic functions Z=X+Y

  19. Use of characteristic functions to prove Central Limit Theorem Y = X1 + X2 + … +Xn i=1,2…,n so: and
