rdiscunif: The Discrete Uniform Distribution

In baddstats/spherstat: Spatial Point Pattern Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry for the Sphere

The Discrete Uniform Distribution

Description

Generate variates from a discrete uniform distribution.

Usage

 rdiscunif(n, min, max, steps)

Arguments

n	The number of points to be simulated. An integer.
min	The minimum value of the support of the distribution.
max	The maximum value of the support of the distribution.
steps	The step size in the support of the distribution i.e. the difference between consecutive values in the support. Must be positive and a factor of (max-min).

Details

rdiscunif generates a realisation of n points of the discrete uniform distribution with support (min,min+steps, min+2*steps,...,max). If steps is not a factor of (max-min); or if min > max then an error is generated. If min = max, then rdiscunif(n, min, max, steps)=repeat(min, n).

Value

A length n numeric vector containing realisations of the specified uniform distribution.
