How to calculate the CDF of y using U

Write Matlab code to generate a one-sided exponential PDF fY (y), from a uniform random variable U where fY (y) = βe−βyu(y), β > 0 (1) and u(y) is a unit step function. Write the Matlab code following the steps below : 1. Generate CDF of Y . FY (y) should be computed first based on the below equation FY (y) = Z y −∞ fY (z) dz.

Hi,

you can use pdf and cdf functions to do this. See the documentation to understand the syntax.

Hope this helps.
