cdf: Cumulative Distribution Function

Description

Returns the cumulative distribution function for a distribution evaluated at a given point.

Usage

cdf(object, x1, ..., lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE, simplify = TRUE)

Arguments

object

Distribution.

x1

vector of numerics to evaluate function at.

...

additional arguments.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P(X \le x)\) otherwise, \(P(X > x)\).

log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

simplify

if TRUE (default) returns results in simplest form (vector or data.table) otherwise as data.table.

Value

Cumulative distribution function evaluated at given points as either a numeric if simplify is TRUE or as a data.table.

R6 Usage

$cdf(x1, ..., lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE, simplify = TRUE)

Details

The (lower tail) cumulative distribution function, \(F_X\), is defined as $$F_X(x) = P(X \le x)$$ If lower.tail is FALSE then \(1 - F_X(x)\) is returned, also known as the survival function.

If available a cdf will be returned without warning using an analytic expression. Otherwise, if the distribution has not been decorated with FunctionImputation, NULL is returned. To impute the cdf, use decorate(distribution, FunctionImputation), this will provide a numeric calculation for the cdf with warning.

Additional named arguments can be passed, which are required for composite distributions such as ProductDistribution and ArrayDistribution.
