Cumulated Probability Density Function (CDF)

Cumulated Probability Density Function (CDF)

ProMan offers the possibility to determine the cumulated probability density function for each type of simulation result. Click Analysis > Display CDF (Cum. Density Fct) of Values, where you can select whether the CDF is considered for:
  • all prediction planes and all horizontal layers
  • all horizontal prediction planes
  • prediction planes and surfaces only
  • currently active horizontal prediction plane
  • zoomed area of the currently active horizontal plane
Note: Unpredicted result pixels, that is result values (which are set to “not computed”) are not considered for the generation of the CDF plot.

100% - Cumulated Probability Density Function (100% - CDF)

Besides the standard cumulated probability density function ProMan also offers the possibility to determine the 100% - CDF for each type of simulation result. This option can be chosen from menu Analysis > Display 100% - CDF (Cum. Density Fct) of Values or from toolbar. In the corresponding submenu the user can select whether the 100% - CDF plot shall consider all prediction planes and all horizontal layers, prediction planes and surfaces only, all horizontal prediction planes, the currently active horizontal prediction plane or the zoomed area of the currently active horizontal plane.

Note: Unpredicted result pixels, for example result values which are set to “not computed”, are not considered for the generation of the 100% - CDF plot.

The following example shows a 100% - CDF plot of a maximum downlink SNIR prediction in an indoor environment.
