times-.dist: Multiplication of distribution objects.
In algebraic.dist: Algebra over Probability Distributions
*.dist R Documentation
Multiplication of distribution objects.
Description
Handles scalar * dist, dist * scalar, and dist * dist.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'dist'
x * y
Arguments
x
first operand
y
second operand
Value
A simplified distribution or edist
Examples
# Scalar multiplication simplifies for normal
z <- 2 * normal(0, 1)
z # Normal(mu = 0, var = 4)
# Product of two distributions yields an edist
w <- normal(0, 1) * exponential(1)
is_edist(w) # TRUE
