CoreStatistics: Core Statistical Methods Decorator

CoreStatistics R Documentation
Core Statistical Methods Decorator
Description
This decorator adds numeric methods for missing analytic expressions in
Distributions as well as adding generalised expectation and moments functions.
Details
Decorator objects add functionality to the given Distribution object by copying methods
in the decorator environment to the chosen Distribution environment.
All methods implemented in decorators try to exploit analytical results where possible, otherwise
numerical results are used with a message.
