To shift distribution use the loc parameter. So, the answer to your question is, if a density or mass function exists, then it is a derivative of the CDF with respect to some measure. The probability mass function above is defined in the standardized form. No density with respect to any useful measure. But this cdf has no density: $C(x)$ is continuous everywhere but its derivative is 0 almost everywhere. The function is defined as $C(x) = x$, if $x$ is in the Cantor set, and the greatest lower bound in the Cantor Set if $x$ is not a member.) The Cantor Function is a perfectly good distribution function, if you tack on $C(x)= 0$ if $x < 0$ and $C(x) = 1$ if $1 < x$. (Consider the Cantor Set and Cantor Function, the set is recursively defined by removing the center 1/3 of the unit interval, then repeating the procedure for the intervals (0, 1/3) and (2/3, 1), etc. Now, depending on the support set of the random variable $X$, the density (or mass function) need not exist. For any type of random of random variable, the CDF always exists (and is unique), defined as $$F_X(x) = P\.$$ PMFs are associated with discrete random variables, PDFs with continuous random variables.
#CDF VS PMF PDF#
You can go from pdf to cdf (via integration), and from pmf to cdf (via summation), and from cdf to pdf (via differentiation) and from cdf to pmf (via differencing), so when you have a pmf or a pdf, it contains the same information as the cdf. It's difficult to answer the question 'do they contain the same information' because it depends on what you mean. Whats the difference between a probability mass function (PMF) and a probability density function (PDF) In this video we learn the basics as well as a few. To get probabilities from pdfs you need to integrate over some interval - or take a difference of two cdf values. The pdf doesn't itself give probabilities, but relative probabilities continuous distributions don't have point probabilities. The pmf for a discrete random variable $X$, gives $P(X=x)$. The CDF of a random variable Y that is discrete is stated by the image attached below. The cdf for a random variable $X$ gives $P(X\leq x)$ (such as a mixed distribution - for example, consider the amount of rain in a day, or the amount of money paid in claims on a property insurance policy, either of which might be modelled by a zero-inflated continuous distribution). The cdf applies to any random variables, including ones that have neither a pdf nor pmf * formal approaches can encompass both and use a single term for them Where a distinction is made between probability function and density*, the pmf applies only to discrete random variables, while the pdf applies to continuous random variables.
