distrEx (version 2.9.5)

distrEx-package: distrEx -- Extensions of Package distr

Description

distrEx provides some extensions of package distr:

  • further functionals: var, sd, IQR, mad, median, skewness, kurtosis

  • truncated moments,

  • distances between distributions (Hellinger, Cramer von Mises, Kolmogorov, total variation, "convex contamination")

  • lists of distributions,

  • conditional distributions in factorized form

  • conditional expectations in factorized form

Support for extreme value distributions has moved to package RobExtremes

Acknowledgement

G. Jay Kerns, gkerns@ysu.edu, has provided a major contribution, in particular the functionals skewness and kurtosis are due to him.

Start-up-Banner

You may suppress the start-up banner/message completely by setting options("StartupBanner"="off") somewhere before loading this package by library or require in your R-code / R-session. If option "StartupBanner" is not defined (default) or setting options("StartupBanner"=NULL) or options("StartupBanner"="complete") the complete start-up banner is displayed. For any other value of option "StartupBanner" (i.e., not in c(NULL,"off","complete")) only the version information is displayed. The same can be achieved by wrapping the library or require call into either suppressStartupMessages() or onlytypeStartupMessages(.,atypes="version").

As for general packageStartupMessage's, you may also suppress all the start-up banner by wrapping the library or require call into suppressPackageStartupMessages() from startupmsg-version 0.5 on.

Package versions

Note: The first two numbers of package versions do not necessarily reflect package-individual development, but rather are chosen for the distrXXX family as a whole in order to ease updating "depends" information.
