... If X has a cdf FX , and we say Y = FX (X), then Y is uniformly distributed on (0, 1). This can be understood intuitively: let FX (x) = y. Then P (Y ≤ y) = P (X ≤ x) = FX (x) = y. This of course assumes monotonicity on FX ’s part, which is not always true, but this can be treated technically. ...
