1 2 3 |
outcomes |
Vector of possible outcomes |
probs |
Vector of probabilities or function defining probabilities |
odds |
Vector of odds |
fractions |
If TRUE, return the probabilities as fractions when printing |
range |
If TRUE, outcomes specify a range of values in the form c(lower, upper) |
verifyprobs |
If TRUE, verify that the probs sum to one |
id |
Set the id of the random variable |
