x.
Description
Generic method for obtaining the expectation of f with respect to
x.
Usage
expectation(x, g, ...)
Arguments
x
The distribution object.
g
The function to take the expectation of.
...
Additional arguments to pass into g.
Value
The expected value of g(x).
Examples
x <- exponential(1)
# E[X] for Exp(1) is 1
