distribution: Empirical Distributions

Description

Generate a sequence of n-quantiles, i.e., a sample of size n with a near-perfect distribution.

Usage

distribution(type = "normal", ...)
distribution_custom(n, type = "norm", ..., random = FALSE)
distribution_beta(n, shape1, shape2, ncp = 0, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_binomial(n, size = 1, prob = 0.5, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_binom(n, size = 1, prob = 0.5, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_cauchy(n, location = 0, scale = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_chisquared(n, df, ncp = 0, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_chisq(n, df, ncp = 0, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_gamma(n, shape, scale = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_mixture_normal(n, mean = c(-3, 3), sd = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_normal(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_gaussian(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_nbinom(n, size, prob, mu, phi, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_poisson(n, lambda = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_student(n, df, ncp, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_t(n, df, ncp, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_student_t(n, df, ncp, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_tweedie(n, xi = NULL, mu, phi, power = NULL, random = FALSE, ...)
distribution_uniform(n, min = 0, max = 1, random = FALSE, ...)
rnorm_perfect(n, mean = 0, sd = 1)

Arguments

type

Can be any of the names from base R's Distributions, like "cauchy", "pois" or "beta".

...

Arguments passed to or from other methods.

n

the number of observations

random

Generate near-perfect or random (simple wrappers for the base R r* functions) distributions.

shape1, shape2

non-negative parameters of the Beta distribution.

ncp

non-centrality parameter.

size

number of trials (zero or more).

prob

probability of success on each trial.

location, scale

location and scale parameters.

df

degrees of freedom (non-negative, but can be non-integer).

shape

Shape parameter.

mean

vector of means.

sd

vector of standard deviations.

mu

the mean

phi

Corresponding to glmmTMB's implementation of nbinom distribution, where size=mu/phi.

lambda

vector of (non-negative) means.

xi

For tweedie distributions, the value of xi such that the variance is var(Y) = phi * mu^xi.

power

Alias for xi.

min, max

lower and upper limits of the distribution. Must be finite.

Details

When random = FALSE, these function return q*(ppoints(n), ...).

Examples

library(bayestestR)
x <- distribution(n = 10)
plot(density(x))

x <- distribution(type = "gamma", n = 100, shape = 2)
plot(density(x))
