uniform distribution on [0,1] find function












0












$begingroup$


Consider $X∼unif [0,1]$. Find a function $g: mathbb{R} longrightarrow mathbb{R}$, such that g(X) has pdf $f(t) = begin{cases} {t+1}, & text{$-1 leq tleq 0$} \ {1-t}, &
text{$0<tleq 1$}end{cases}$
.



Can you help me, please? I do not know what I have to do.

          Compute the cdf $F$ corresponding to $f$ (i.e. $F(x)=int_{-infty}^x f(t), dt)$ and use the fact that $F^{-1}(X)$ has the same distribution as $F$. So we can take $g=F^{-1}$.

            Thanks for your answer. So I have $ F(x) = begin{cases} 0 & x <-1\ frac12 + x + frac{x^2}{2} & x in[-1,0]\ frac12 + x - frac{x^2}{2} & x in(0,1]\ 0 & x > 1end{cases}$. Is that correct? Now I have to calculate $F^{-1}(x)$ for every case, right?
