Arguments

m

a distribution object.

q

a vector values where the function will be evaluated. If q is NULL (default), then the data values will be used.

log

default FALSE. If TRUE, probabilities are given as log(p).

Value

The probability density (or mass) function

Note

This method does *not* alter the internal state of the distribution objects.
