Matplotlib histogram and estimated PDF in Python

Key focus: Shown with examples: let’s estimate and plot the probability density function of a random variable using Python’s Matplotlib histogram function. Generation of random variables with required probability distribution characteristic is of paramount importance in simulating a communication system. Let’s see how we can generate a simple random variable, estimate and plot the probability … Read more

Random Variables, CDF and PDF

Random Variable: A random variable is a mapping from sample space $latex \Omega\$ to a set of real numbers. What does this mean ? Lets take the usual evergreen example of “flipping a coin”. In a “coin-flipping” experiment, the outcome is not known prior to the experiment, that is we cannot predict it with certainty … Read more
