Apr 23,  · First, it is a simple family of distributions for which the expected value (and other moments) do not exist. Second, the family is closed under the formation of sums of . Standard Cauchy distribution (from ˜leemis/chart/UDR/) The shorthand X ∼Cauchy(1,0)is used to indicate that the random variable X has the standard . Cauchy distribution. Example: Find the cumulative distribution function of the Cauchy distribution. Solution: F(x) = Z x 1 f(t) dt= 1 ˇ arctan(x)jx 1 = (1 ˇ arctan(x) + 1 2): De nition: The mean of a . What is a Cauchy Distribution? The Cauchy distribution, sometimes called the Lorentz distribution Cauchy–Lorentz distribution, Lorentz (ian) function, or Breit–Wigner distribution, is a family of continuous probably distributions which resemble the normal distribution family of curves. Cauchy Distribution The Cauchy distribution has PDF given by: f(x) = 1 ˇ 1 1 + x2 for x2(1 ;1). Note that R 1 1+x2 dx= arctan(x). The Cauchy distribution has in nite mean and variance. E(jxj) = 2 ˇ Z 1 0 x 1 + x2 dx= 1 ˇ Z 1 0 1 1 + y dy= 1 ˇ log(1 + y)j1 0 Normal Random Variables The normal distribution behaves well under addition. The Cauchy distribution (which is a special case of a t-distribution, which you will encounter in Chapter 23) is an example of a distribution that does not have a finite variance – in fact, the Cauchy distribution does not even have a finite mean. Here is a picture of the Cauchy distribution (black), along with a.
