Draw a random sample from a Cauchy distribution

Description

Draw a random sample from a Cauchy distribution

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Cauchy'
random(x, n = 1L, drop = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

A Cauchy object created by a call to Cauchy().

n

The number of samples to draw. Defaults to 1L.

drop

logical. Should the result be simplified to a vector if possible?

...

Unused. Unevaluated arguments will generate a warning to catch mispellings or other possible errors.

Value

In case of a single distribution object or n = 1, either a numeric vector of length n (if drop = TRUE, default) or a matrix with n columns (if drop = FALSE).

Examples


set.seed(27)

X <- Cauchy(10, 0.2)
X

mean(X)
variance(X)
skewness(X)
kurtosis(X)

random(X, 10)

pdf(X, 2)
log_pdf(X, 2)

cdf(X, 2)
quantile(X, 0.7)

cdf(X, quantile(X, 0.7))
quantile(X, cdf(X, 7))
