cdf plot in python code example

Example: plot cdf python

import numpy as np
from pylab import *

# Create some test data
dx = 0.01
X  = np.arange(-2, 2, dx)
Y  = exp(-X ** 2)

# Normalize the data to a proper PDF
Y /= (dx * Y).sum()

# Compute the CDF
CY = np.cumsum(Y * dx)

# Plot both
plot(X, Y)
plot(X, CY, 'r--')

show()
