- Abstract:
This note surveys results for computing the inequality probability P(X > Y )in closed form where X and Y are independent continuous random variables. Distribution families discussed include normal, Cauchy, gamma, inverse gamma, Levy, folded normal, and beta. Mixture distributions are also discussed.
