| Jun 18, 2018 at 21:14 | comment | added | Francesco Andreuzzi | I didn't know that there wasn't a "direct" way to interpret a PDF, like it is with a CDF (I mean, CDF can be read like a sequence of P(x,y), right?). The only way to read a PDF is with a definite integral, so the probability is not in the y-axis, but it's the area inside the interval (which you can with the integral). Please correct me if I'm wrong | |

| Jun 18, 2018 at 21:09 | comment | added | Nick Cox | The second graph is (as it says) showing a PDF, meaning probability density function. It's related but quite different, as velocity graph corresponds to a graph of distance travelled (or in your course distance to travel). | |

| Jun 18, 2018 at 18:13 | comment | added | Nick Cox | This is the sort of plot that power-law proponents like to claim as a good fit and power-law sceptics like to regard as another failure of an oversold model, given the systematic curvature for all subsets. Note that proponent is not a typo for exponent. | |
