get.equal.tailed.intervals: Get equal-tailed intervals (confidence/credible intervals)...

In tfojo1/distributions:

Get equal-tailed intervals (confidence/credible intervals) for the variables in a distribution

Description

Get equal-tailed intervals (confidence/credible intervals) for the variables in a distribution

Usage

get.equal.tailed.intervals(dist, coverage = 0.95, n.sim = 1000)

Arguments

dist	An object of class Distribution or a subclass
coverage	A vector of probabilities (from 0 to 1) which the intervals should cover
n.sim	If the values are to be calculated by random sample generation, how many random samples to generate

Details

Note to developers: This function should not be overridden directly. Insteady override do.get.equal.tailed.intervals

Value

If length(coverage)==1, and the distribution has one variable, returns a numeric vector with two values: the lower and upper bound of the interval. If length(coverage)==1 and the distribution has more than one variable, returns a matrix with one row for the lower bound and one row for the upper, and one column for each variable. If length(coverage)>1 and the distribution has one variable, returns a matrix with one row for the lower bound and one row for the upper bound, and one column for each value in coverage. If length(coverage)>1, and the distribution has more than one variable returns a 3-dimensional array; the first dimension has values 'lower' and 'upper'. The second dimension has one value for each variable. The third dimension has one value for each value of coverage.
