Since the statistics of X ( ) is known, the last term, namely, P{g ( x ) y} could be determined in terms of y . When FY ( y ) is known, then the density function may be found. That is,
fY ( y) = dFy ( y ) dy
f X ( xi ( y )) , g ( xi ( y ))
where xi = g 1 ( y ) are n real roots for a given y . If for some value of y there is no real root, then
fY ( y) = 0 .
Justification: By definition,
f Y ( y )dy = P{y < Y y + dy}
y = g ( xi ) , xi ~ root, i = 1,2,..., n
Therefore,
fY ( y ) =
i =1 n
f X ( xi ) n f X ( xi ) = . dy i =1 g ( x i ) dxi
