In distr: Object Oriented Implementation of Distributions

Default procedure to fill slots d,p,q given r for Lebesgue decomposed distributions

Description

function to do get empirical density, cumulative distribution and quantile function from random numbers

Usage

RtoDPQ.LC(r, e = getdistrOption("RtoDPQ.e"), 
          n = getdistrOption("DefaultNrGridPoints"), y = NULL)

Arguments

r	the random number generator
e	10^e numbers are generated, a higher number leads to a better result.
n	The number of grid points used to create the approximated functions, a higher number leads to a better result.
y	a (numeric) vector or NULL

Details

RtoDPQ.LC generates 10^e random numbers, by default

e = RtoDPQ.e

. Replicates are assumed to be part of the discrete part, unique values to be part of the a.c. part of the distribution. For the replicated ones, we generate a discrete distribution by a call to DiscreteDistribution.

For the a.c. part, similarly to RtoDPQ we have an optional parameter y for using N. Horbenko's quantile trick: i.e.; on an equally spaced grid x.grid on [0,1], apply f(q(x)(x.grid)), write the result to y and use these values instead of simulated ones.

The a.c. density is formed on the basis of n points using approxfun and density (applied to the unique values), by default

n = DefaultNrGridPoints

. The cumulative distribution function is based on all random variables, and, as well as the quantile function, is also created on the basis of n points using approxfun and ecdf. Of course, the results are usually not exact as they rely on random numbers.

Value

RtoDPQ.LC returns an object of class UnivarLebDecDistribution.

Note

Use RtoDPQ for absolutely continuous and RtoDPQ.d for discrete distributions.

x <- RtoDPQ.LC(r = rn2, e = 4, n = 512)
plot(x)
# returns density, cumulative distribution and quantile function of

x2 <- RtoDPQ.LC(r = rn2, e = 5, n = 1024) # for a better result
plot(x2)
