In algebraic.dist: Algebra over Probability Distributions

Retrieve the observations used to construct a distribution-like object. This is useful for obtaining the data used to construct an empirical distribution, but it is also useful for, say, retrieving the sample that was used by a fitted object, like an maximum likelihood estimate.

Description

Retrieve the observations used to construct a distribution-like object. This is useful for obtaining the data used to construct an empirical distribution, but it is also useful for, say, retrieving the sample that was used by a fitted object, like an maximum likelihood estimate.

Usage

obs(x)

Arguments

x	the object to retrieve the observations from

Value
