A particular form of expectation

44 Views Asked by At

I am stucked in showing an equality concerning the expectation of a fonction $f \in \mathcal{L}_1(P) , ||f||_1 = \int_R |f(x)|dP(x)$ , where $P$ is a probability measure.

The exercise is the following:

Let $Q_f $ be the inverse functions of the càdlàg function $ t \to \mathbb{P}\left( |f(X)|> t\right)$ , where $\mathcal{L}(X)=P$.

Show that $ ||f||_1 = \int_0^1 Q_f(u)du$

Does anyone has any advice?
