Can we express the Law of the Unconscious Statistician using the CDF instead of the PDF? [duplicate]
I have only seen LOTUS given either in terms of the density
$$\mathbb{E}[g(X)] = \int g(x) f(x) dx$$
or in terms of the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral
$$\mathbb{E}[g(X)] = \int g(x) dF_X(x).$$
I have also … seen this post showing how moments can be computed using the CDF and not the PDF:
Similar to computing these moments, is there a way to write the LOTUS using the CDF and not the PDF? …

What is the point of LOTUS if I can just compute the average of $g(X)$?
The law of the unconscious statistician (LOTUS), is a theorem used to calculate the expected value of a function $g(X)=Y$ of a random variable $X$ when one knows the probability distribution of $X$ but … If the point of LOTUS is to find the expectation $E[g(X)]$, then the theorem suggests using $X$'s probability density and $g(X)$'s values:
$$E[g(X)]=\sum_x\,g(x)f_X(x),\;\text{(discrete)}$$
or
$$E[g(X) …

Notation confusion regarding Expectation in Kullback-Leibler divergence definition
Regarding the derivation of the third term, do you get it via the LOTUS, setting $g(X)$ as $\log\left(\frac{P(X)}{Q(X)}\right)$ ? …

Derivation of ELBO in ADVI Paper, Jacobian of Elliptical Transformation
I don't think this has anything to do with LOTUS, instead it's just a quality of the Normal distribution:
Suppose $x\sim N(\mu, \Sigma)$. …

Derivation of ELBO in ADVI Paper, Jacobian of Elliptical Transformation
The transformation of the formula from (5) in the paper to the formula at the bottom of page 9 is a consequence of the Law of the Unconscious Statistician (LOTUS) -see (28) in Monte Carlo Gradient Estimation … The proof of the LOTUS effectively involves showing that the Jacobian determinant ($|\det J_{S^{-1}}|$) arising in the modified density for $\eta$ as a result of the change of variables cancels out with …

What is the intuition behind an Indicator Function?
The easiest way to get it, in my opinion, is using LOTUS.
$$
\mathbb{E}[\: g(x) \: ] = \int_X g(x)\cdot f(x)dx
$$
Indicator function is a function, so we may put it directly instead of $g(x)$. …

Difference between averaging and ignoring the partial dependencies?
following form:
$$F_z(z)=P(Z<z)=P(f(w)<z)=P(w<f^{-1}(z))=F_w(f^{-1}(z))$$
And p.d.f. for z will have the following form:
$$f_z(z)=F_z'(z)=f_w(w)|_{w=f^{-1}(z)} \cdot (f^{-1}(z))'_{z}$$

Expectation for a function of a discrete random variable
{v_1}p_2 + \cancelto{g(u_5)}{v_1}p_5 + \cancelto{g(u_1)}{v_2}p_1 + \cancelto{g(u_3)}{v_3}p_3 + \cancelto{g(u_4)}{v_3}p_4\\
&= \sum_i g(u_i)p_i\\
&= \sum_i g(u_i)P\{X=u_i\}\tag{2}
\end{align}
which is LOTUS … Anyway, that's my intuition as to why LOTUS is true. A formal proof would need to talk of an onto mapping from the set $\{u_i\}$ to the (possibly smaller) set $\{v_j\}$ etc. …
