probability density function
n
(Mathematics & Measurements / Statistics) Statistics a function representing the relative distribution of frequency of a continuous random variable from which parameters such as its mean and variance can be derived and having the property that its integral from a to b is the probability that the variable lies in this interval. Its graph is the limiting case of a histogram as the amount of data increases and the class intervals decrease in size Also called density function Compare cumulative distribution function, frequency distribution

The details of HSE model based on TLS are presented, and error analysis for the HSE is conducted by using the probability density function and cumulative probability density function.
The probability density function of a two-parameter exponential distribution is given by: f(t;[mu],[theta]) = [1/[theta]]exp{-(t-[mu])/[theta]}, t[greater than or equal to][mu] and t[greater than or equal to]0 Where: [mu] = The location parameter [theta]>0 = The scale parameter The probability distribution function is: F(t;[mu],[theta]) = 1-exp{-(t-[mu])/[theta]}.
