I've got three arrays sampled from normal probability density functions (PDFs) representing the following:
- Number of users the app will see in a day
- Number of interactions with the application/user
- Number of API calls/interaction
The data are represented in three arrays of length 1000 each. I'm assuming each of the three PDFs are independent of one another. How do I go about combining them to get a PDF of the total number of API calls/day?
I know element wise multiplication is probably the wrong way to go about it. Would I use convolution to combine the PDFs?
Is there any literature I can read up on regarding how mathematical modeling based on probabilities works?
