Transformation of RVs
Transformation of RVs
◦ Consider a RV 𝑋 with a PDF 𝑓 𝑥 and CDF 𝐹 𝑥
◦ Define a new RV 𝑌: 𝑌 𝑔 𝑋 for some function 𝑔 , eg
◦𝑌
◦𝑌 𝑔 𝑋 𝑋
◦𝑌 𝑔 𝑋, 𝑍 𝑋 𝑍
◦𝑌 𝑔 𝑋, 𝑍
𝑖
◦ Note 𝛾 𝑔 ℎ, 𝑖 is a function of RV ℎ and 𝑖
◦ We know PDF of ℎ and 𝑖 but need to find CDF of 𝛾 to find
outage probability
Monotonically Increasing Function
o As X increases 𝑌 𝑔 𝑋 also increases
• Note: 0 • Note: 0
◦ Solution:
General Case
◦ For a RV 𝑍: Pr 𝑧 𝑍 𝑧 𝑑𝑧 𝑓 𝑧 𝑑𝑧 as 𝑑𝑧 → 0,
◦ Applying to above expression yields
𝑓 𝑦 𝑑𝑦
𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑓 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑓 𝑦
𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑦
◦ In general, this can be expressed as
𝑓 𝑥
𝑓 𝑦

𝑑𝑥
𝑥 are the roots of the equation 𝑦 𝑔 𝑥
Example
◦ Obtain the PDF of RV given that RV
has PDF and CDF
