dgamma_rvec: Gamma Distribution, Using Multiple Draws

In rvec: Vectors Representing Random Variables

Gamma Distribution, Using Multiple Draws

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the gamma distribution, modified to work with rvecs.

Usage

dgamma_rvec(x, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate, log = FALSE)

pgamma_rvec(
  q,
  shape,
  rate = 1,
  scale = 1/rate,
  lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE
)

qgamma_rvec(
  p,
  shape,
  rate = 1,
  scale = 1/rate,
  lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE
)

rgamma_rvec(n, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate, n_draw = NULL)

Arguments

x	Quantiles. Can be an rvec.
shape	Shape parameter. See dgamma(). Can be an rvec.
rate	Rate parameter. See stats::dgamma(). Can be an rvec.
scale	Scale parameter. An alterative to rate. See dgamma(). Can be an rvec.
log, log.p	Whether to return results on a log scale. Default is FALSE. Cannot be an rvec.
q	Quantiles. Can be an rvec.
lower.tail	Whether to return P[X \le x], as opposed to P[X > x]. Default is TRUE. Cannot be an rvec.
p	Probabilities. Can be an rvec.
n	The length of random vector being created. Cannot be an rvec.
n_draw	Number of random draws in the random vector being created. Cannot be an rvec.

Details

Functions dgamma_rvec(), pgamma_rvec(), pgamma_rvec() and rgamma_rvec() work like base R functions dgamma(), pgamma(), qgamma(), and rgamma(), except that they accept rvecs as inputs. If any input is an rvec, then the output will be too. Function rgamma_rvec() also returns an rvec if a value for n_draw is supplied.

dgamma_rvec(), pgamma_rvec(), pgamma_rvec() and rgamma_rvec() use tidyverse vector recycling rules:

• Vectors of length 1 are recycled

• All other vectors must have the same size

Value

• If any of the arguments are rvecs, or if a value for n_draw is supplied, then an rvec; otherwise an ordinary R vector.

Examples

x <- rvec(list(c(3, 5.1),
               c(0.1, 2.3)))
dgamma_rvec(x, shape = 1)
pgamma_rvec(x, shape = 1)

rgamma_rvec(n = 2,
            shape = 1,
            rate = c(0.5, 1),
            n_draw = 1000)
