dist_density: Create distributional object based on a specified density

In weird: Functions and Data Sets for "That's Weird: Anomaly Detection Using R" by Rob J Hyndman

Create distributional object based on a specified density

Description

Creates a distributional object using a density specified as pair of vectors giving (x, f(x)). The density is assumed to be piecewise linear between the points provided, and 0 outside the range of x.

Usage

dist_density(x, density)

Arguments

x	Numerical vector of ordinates, or a list of such vectors.
density	Numerical vector of density values, or a list of such vectors.

Examples

dist_density(seq(-4, 4, by = 0.01), dnorm(seq(-4, 4, by = 0.01)))
