In StatisticsNZ/demest: Bayesian Demographic Estimation and Forecasting

Specify a vector of independent t-distributed variables

Description

Specify a vector of n t-distributed variables, each of which has degrees of freedom df[i], mean mean[i], and scale scale[i].

Usage

TDist(df = 7, mean = 0, scale = NULL, mult = 1)

Arguments

df	Degrees of freedom. A vector with length equal to 1 or to the number of variables required. Defaults to 4.
mean	Mean parameter. A vector with length equal to 1 or to the number of variables required. Defaults to 0.
scale	Scale parameter. A vector with length equal to 1 or to the number of variables required. Defaults to 1.
mult	Multiplier applied to scale, if sd is generated automatically. Defaults to 1.

Value

Object of class TDist.
