I want to get the CDF from the integration of a given PDF. Is there any
good codes I can use for this purpose? Currently I use the program
dqk15i.f from the quadpack. But the result is not good. especially, for
the PDF with a sharp peak, it gives totally wrong results. Is there any
other programs which can deal with semi-infinite range? Is there anyone
can help me? Thanks.

Hi,

in which form is the pdf given ? analytic formula ?
number of hits in a finite number of intervals resulting
from a monte-carlo-simulation ?

Best wishes
Torsten.

Yes, the PDF has the anaytical funciton as p=
exp(-(u1+sqrt(abs(u1^2+4*u2*(u-u0+u2))))^2/8/u2^2/sqrt(2*pi*abs(u1^2+4*u2*(u-u0+u2))).
u0 is mean, u1 is standard deviation, u2 is the skewness.
what should I do? Thanks.

Yes, the PDF has the anaytical funciton as p=
exp(-(u1+sqrt(abs(u1^2+4*u2*(u-u0+u2))))^2/8/u2^2/sqrt>(2*pi*abs(u1^2+4*u2*(u-u0+u2))).
u0 is mean, u1 is standard deviation, u2 is the skewness.

Hi,

let u*>0 be such that the pdf is small for |u|>u*.
Then use an integrator for ordinary differential
equations to solve the problem
F'(u)= exp(-(u1+sqrt(abs(u1^2+4*u2*(u-u0+u2))))
^2/8/u2^2/sqrt(2*pi*abs(u1^2+4*u2*(u-u0+u2))),
with initial condition F(-u*)=0 in the range [-u*,u*].

Good integrators for ODEs automatically choose the
step size adaptively so that sharp gradients
in the cdf should be well resolved.

Of course, because the ODE does not contain the
dependent variable F, the use of quadpack is also
possible. Then follow Peter's advice.

Best wishes
Torsten.

u0 is mean, u1 is standard deviation, u2 is the skewness.

This is inconsistent. Analytic computation of the mean of this PDF yields

mean = u0 - u2 - u1^2/(4 u2)

Also, note that other moments of this PDF can be computed in
closed-form. For example, the variance is

(u1^4 BesselK[6, u1/(4 Sqrt[2 Pi] u2^2)])/
(16 u2^2 BesselK[2, u1/(4 Sqrt[2 Pi] u2^2)])

Since you have access to Mathematica, it is straightforward to use
NDSolve to compute the CDF.

Cheers,
Paul
