Lindley: The Lindley Distribution

Description

Density, cumulative distribution function, and random generation for the Lindley distribution.

Usage

dlind(x, theta, log = FALSE)
plind(q, theta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rlind(n, theta)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

n

number of observations. Same as in runif.

log

Logical. If log = TRUE then the logarithm of the density is returned.

theta

positive parameter.

lower.tail, log.p

Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.

Value

dlind gives the density, plind gives the cumulative distribution function, and rlind generates random deviates.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
theta <- exp(-1); x <- seq(0.0, 17, length = 700)
dlind(0:10, theta)
# }
# NOT RUN {
plot(x, dlind(x, theta), type = "l", las = 1, col = "blue",
     main = "dlind(x, theta = exp(-1))")
abline(h = 1, col = "grey", lty = "dashed") 
# }
