CDFtargett
CDFtargett is a term used in statistics and data science to denote a family of methods that leverage cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) to align a source distribution with a specified target distribution.
Definition and scope: CDFtargett describes procedures that start with an empirical CDF from observed data, perform
Applications: It is used for calibration of probabilistic forecasts, normalization across datasets, and simulation studies where
Limitations and critique: Because the method relies on estimated CDFs, it can be sensitive to sample size
History: The terminology appears in recent practice notes and online discussions; formal peer-reviewed treatment remains limited
