qdist: The general quantile function

In salauer/gdist: Generalized Distributions for Use in Functions

Description

The general quantile function

Usage

qdist(dist, p, arg_list, lookup_verbose = F, ...)

Arguments

dist	character string, specification of the distribution of interest using the abbreviations from distributions
p	numeric vector of probabilities
arg_list	list, alternative to directly using the names of the arguments for the distribution of choice, the user can provide a list with those arguments enclosed. This is useful for when multiple distributions need to be drawn from.
lookup_verbose	logical, whether to print the abbreviated name found in the dist_lookup_table
...	arguments specific to the distribution of interest (e.g. the "binom" distribution requires arguments for size and prob)

Value

a numeric vector representing the quantiles of the distribution of interest

Examples

## use curve and qdist to visualize the quantiles of a distribution
curve(qdist("pois", x, lambda=3), from=0, to=1)
