Cauchy Command

Cauchy( <Median>, <Scale>, <Variable value> )

Calculates the value of the cumulative density function (cdf) at the given variable value v of a Cauchy distribution, that is the probability P(X≤v) where X is a random variable of a Cauchy distribution of given parameters median and scale.

Cauchy(1, 2, 3) yields 0.75 in the Menu view algebra.svg Algebra View and 34 in the Menu view cas.svg CAS View.

This syntax returns the probability for a given value, that is the area under the Cauchy distribution curve to the left of the given x-coordinate.

Cauchy( <Median>, <Scale>, <Variable value>, <Boolean Cumulative>)

If Cumulative is true, calculates the value of a cumulative distribution function of a Cauchy distribution at variable value, otherwise it calculates the value of the probability density function (pdf) at variable value of the given Cauchy distribution of parameters median and scale.

Cauchy( <Median>, <Scale>, x, <Boolean Cumulative>)

If Cumulative is true, creates the cumulative distribution function of a Cauchy distribution, otherwise creates the probability density function of the given Cauchy distribution of parameters median and scale.
