rvcauchy: Generate Random Variables from a Cauchy Sampling Model
Description
Random vector generation for the Cauchy distribution.
Usage
rvcauchy(n=1, location=0, scale=1)
Arguments
n
integer: number of variables to generate
location
location parameter (may be random)
scale
scale parameter (may be random)
Value
A random vector (rv object) of length n.
Details
For details on the Cauchy distribution, see Cauchy.
See also rvt; Cauchy is a special
case of the t-distribution with 1 degree of freedom,
and therefore rvcauchy(n,location,scale) is
equivalent to rvt(n, mu, scale, df=1).
