This video introduces the probability transformation rule, for finding
the probability density function of the mapping of another random
variable. A derivation of the transformation rule is presented, by
considering mutually exclusive small intervals, such that the rule is
effectively an application of the axiomatic probability sum rule. An
example with a single root is provided, leading to the log-normal
distribution. The viewer is recommended to work through the example at
the end of the inverse transformation of a random variable that is
Cauchy distributed.
