SummariseEmpiricalPDF: Summarise an Empirical Probability Distribution Function.

In EarthSystemDiagnostics/baconr: Hierarchical Accumulation Modelling with Stan and R

Summarise an Empirical Probability Distribution Function.

Description

Summarise an Empirical Probability Distribution Function.

Usage

SummariseEmpiricalPDF(x, p)

Arguments

x	A vector of values of empirical PDF
p	A vector of probabilities

Details

Calculation of the mode is naive. For a multimodal distribution only the highest is returned, in the case of 2 or more modes with exactly the same probability, the first is returned.

Value

Returns a named vector with the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of the empirical PDF

Examples

## Not run: 
df <- data.frame(x = 1:10)
df$p <- dnorm(df$x, 5, 2)
hamstr:::SummariseEmpiricalPDF(df$x, df$p)

x <- 1:100
y <- dnorm(x, 50, 10)
plot(x, y)
SummariseEmpiricalPDF(x, y)


x2 <- x[c(1:50, seq(51, 70, 3), seq(71, 100, 1))]
y2 <- y[x2]

plot(x2, y2)
SummariseEmpiricalPDF(x2, y2)

## End(Not run)
