Cumulative distribution function
In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function (CDF, also cumulative density function) of a real-valued random variable X, or just distribution function of X, evaluated at x, is the probability that X will take a value less than or equal to x. In the case of a continuous distribution, it gives the area under the probability density function from minus infinity to x. Cumulative distribution functions are also used to specify the distribution of multivariate random variables.

Softmax function
In mathematics, the softmax function, or normalized exponential function, is a generalization of the logistic function that "squashes" a -dimensional vector \mathbf of arbitrary real values to a -dimensional vector \sigma(\mathbf) of real values, where each entry is in the range (0, 1, and all the entries add up to 1. The function is given by In probability theory, the output of the softmax function can be used to represent a categorical distribution – that is, a probability distribution over different possible outcomes. In fact, it is the gradient-log-normalizer of the categorical probability distribution. The softmax function is also the gradient of the LogSumExp function. The softmax function is used in various multiclass classification methods, such as multinomial logistic regression (also known as softmax regression), multiclass linear discriminant analysis, naive Bayes classifiers, and artificial neural networks. Specifically, in multinomial logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis, the input to the function is the result of distinct linear functions, and the predicted probability for the 'th class given a sample vector and a weighting vector is: This can be seen as the composition of linear functions \mathbf \mapsto \mathbf^\mathsf\mathbf_1, \ldots, \mathbf \mapsto \mathbf^\mathsf\mathbf_K and the softmax function (where \mathbf^\mathsf\mathbf denotes the inner product of \mathbf and \mathbf). The operation is equivalent to applying a linear operator defined by \mathbf to vectors \mathbf, thus transforming the original, probably highly-dimensional, input to vectors in a -dimensional space \mathbb^K.
