Quantiles are always well-defined for any random variable
Mode
Properties
A random variable may have zero or more than one modes
Quantiles
Median
Definition
Measure of central tendency
Interquartile Range (IQR)
Definition
Difference between 75% and 25% quantiles
Propertities
Less sensitive to outliers.
The Four Moments
Expectation
FRM一级不考连续型随机变量期望值的计算(需要用到积分),所以掌握离散型变量的期望计算的方法即可
Definition
The first non-central moment
Properties
Doesn't pass through the nonlinear functions
Variance
Definition
The second central moment
Skewness
FRM一级不考Skewness的计算,但定性要掌握
Definition
The third central moment
measures asymmetry in a distribution
Kurtosis
Definition
The fourth central moment
measures the tail of distribution
Properties
Kurtosis[a±bX]=Kurtosis[X]
Discrete Random Variables
Definition
Numbers of possible outcomes can't be counted.
Functions
Probability Density Function
Cumulative Distribution Function
Discrete Random Variables
Definition
Numbers of possible outcomes can be counted.

Chapter 2 - Rndom Variables
Type of Probabilities
Unconditional Probability
Total Probability Theorem
A(j) are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
Event & Event Space
该考点一般不考具体定义,结合已有教材理解即可,但要掌握不同事件的定义和数学表达及其之间的区别
Mutually Exclusive Events
Independent Events
A is independent to B, means P(AB) = P(A) * P(B)
2 Rules
Addition Rule
P(A+B ) = P(A)+P(B)-P(AB)
Simulation & Bootstrapping
Return, Volatility & Correlation
