Florian's eCDF

Good to know that "empirical probability" is a synonym for the relative frequency.

My own idea behind all this seemed way simpler to me at the time; although, I am not sure how to properly show that it does what it should at the moment. Basically, I conveniently forgot that the agglomerate sizes are restricted to natural numbers. From there, I can estimate the probability **density** by estimating the derivative of the CDF, in my case as discretized derivatives using the eCDF. However, this means that the values I calculated are estimates of the PDF, not of the probabilities as I originally wanted.

By this logic, I am quite confused, because the PDF estimates are normalized to one. I would have expected that I need an integral for the normalization if I assumed continuous random numbers in the beginning.

When dropping $n\in \mathbb{N}$, to which values $n$ do you assign ficticious probabability(-density)-values and why? --Lothar (talk) 15:51, 10 July 2024 (CEST)
