Document Summary

A function x : s r, that associates a real number x(s) to each outcome s is called a random variable. Notation: the range of the random variable is denoted rx. Rx is the set of all possible values that x can take. Note: we use upper-case letters (often at the end of the alphabet) to denote random variables, e. g. x, y, z, w, . Note: as an outcome is observed and we evaluate the random variables, we obtain an observed value. The observed values are denoted with lower-case letters, e. g. x, y, z, w, . Example 1: consider calls to a communication system. Let x be the waiting time between two calls. Events with random variables: we can construct events with ran- dom variables. Here are a few examples: let a r, we interpret {x a} as the following event:

Problem 3: The Inverse Transformation Method A general method for simulating a RV having a continuous distribution called the inverse transformation method is based on the following result (see also Section 10.2 of the textbook and Quiz 2) Proposition 2.1. The Inverse Transformation Method). L UN U(0,1). For any continuous et distribution function F, X F-1(U) has distribution function F. (F-1(ar) is defined to equal that value y for which F(y) r.) In order to simulate X n Exp(1), for example, generate an U U(0,1) and let X log(1 -U) (see Quiz 2(c)). In fact, X log(U) is also Exp(1), since 1 U (0,1). Since X Exp(A) if X Exp(1) (why?), it follows that log(U)A has an Exp(1) distribution. This can be easily illustrated in Octave xi -log Grand (100,1)); 100 random samples from Exp (1) x2 -log (rand (100, 1))/2; 100 random samples from Exp(2) x3 -log Grand (100, 1))*2; 100 random samples from Exp(0.5) [mean (x1) mean(x2) mean (x3)] check their mean values In addition, Y X Gamma(n, A) if X Xn are i.i.d.

Plot histograms for the Gamma random samples. Octave also has a built-in gamma RV generator gamrnd (google it for reference!). Generate 100 random samples of Gamma(10, A) using gamrnd, make histograms, and compare two results. (b) As a function of U U(0, 1), create a new RV W with CDF F(w) 1 e-ti (w 0). (This is Quiz 2 (b).) Write an Octave code to generate 100 random samples of W F using the inverse transformation method (c) Consider a method for generating Weibull(a,B) RVs that have the following CDF F(z) exp(-ar 0 z oo, a Note that W in (b) is in fact Weibull(1,2). Write an Octave function myweibrnd.m that will generate n random samples for given parameters a and B. It should have the following format function CRJ myweibrnd n, alpha, beta) this function receives sample size n and parameters alpha and beta as input arguments and return R Ca vector of n random samples) (put your code here) Using your myweibrnd function, generate 1000 simulated values when (i) (a, B) (1,2) and (ii) (a,B) (2,1), respectively.
