UNIFORM RANDOM VARIABLE
Attributes
- It is used to represent errors, e.g. amount of error in estimate.
- Has a Probability Density Function (pdf). where U(x) is the unit step function. This can also be written as:
![]()
This can be illustrated as:
![]()
- Also, it can be shown that:
- The Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of a Uniform Random Variable is which can also be written as:
![]()
This can be illustrated as:
![]()
- The Uniform Random Variable is a special case of the Beta Random Variable.
