Introduction to Probability Density Functions (PDF) Probability density functions, commonly denoted as PDFs, are an essential component of statistical analysis used extensively in finance to gauge the risk and expected return potential for discrete variables such as individual stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). They represent the probability distribution of a
