Abstract

The probability density function is a fundamental concept in statistics. Specifying the density function f of a random variable X on Ω gives a natural description of the distribution of X on the universe Ω. When it cannot be specified, an estimate of this density may be performed by using a sample of n observations independent and identically distributed (X 1,…,X 1) of X.
