In schuelkem/samplr: Sample from Continuous Distributions

samplr

Overview

This R package was created to fulfill course requirements of Saint Louis University MATH 4800: Probability Theory for the Fall 2018 semester. The purpose of the package is to sample from continuous distributions given their probability density functions.

Install Package

You can install this package by using devtools:

devtools::install_github("schuelkem/samplr")

If you also wish to install the vignettes, you will need to remove one of the default build_opts arguments:

devtools::install_github(repo = "schuelkem/samplr", 
                         build_opts = c("--no-resave-data", "--no-manual"))

About

MATH 4800

MATH 4800 is a course in the theory and application of probability. Probability is useful in other areas of mathematics, in engineering and sciences, and is essential for advanced study in statistics. In this course, we will develop (with proofs) the theory of probability. Topics include discrete and continuous random variables, expectation, jointly defined random variables, transforms of random variables, limit theorems, and a brief introduction to stochastic processes.

Saint Louis University
