DiscreteNormal: Discrete normal distribution

In extraDistr: Additional Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

Discrete normal distribution

Description

Probability mass function, distribution function and random generation for discrete normal distribution.

Usage

ddnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE)

pdnorm(q, mean = 0, sd = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rdnorm(n, mean = 0, sd = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
mean	vector of means.
sd	vector of standard deviations.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X \le x] otherwise, P[X > x].
n	number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

Details

Probability mass function

f(x) = \Phi\left(\frac{x-\mu+1}{\sigma}\right) - \Phi\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)

Cumulative distribution function

F(x) = \Phi\left(\frac{\lfloor x \rfloor + 1 - \mu}{\sigma}\right)

hist(pdnorm(x, 0, 3))
plot(ecdf(x))
xx <- seq(-15, 15, 0.1)
lines(xx, pdnorm(xx, 0, 3), col = "red", lwd = 2, type = "s")
