est_params_expdist R Documentation
Estimate the rate of the exponential distribution from which the
sample data were taken.
Description
Given a data frame and the name of a continuous variable from the data frame,
suppose the CCDF of the variable on a log-y scale is linear, then its
distribution can be modeled by the exponential distribution, of which the
rate can be estimated by this function.
Usage
est_params_expdist(df, varname, digits = 3)
Arguments
df
A data frame.
varname.
String, name of a continuous variable with an empirical
distribution approximately exponential.
digits.
Integer, the number of digits after decimal point to keep for
the estimated parameter values.
Value
An estimate of the rate of a theoretical exponential distribution.
Examples
library(ezplot)
est_params_expdist(births, 'diffs')
est_params_expdist(births, 'diffs', digits = 4)
