Abstract

The Fourier transform of a finite-dimensional Pdf is the characteristic function, hence contains probabilistic information equivalent to the Pdf/Cdf. The main difference to the Pdfs is its relation to statistical moments, which follow from the characteristic function by differentiation at the origin of the argument space \(\mathcal{N}\).
