sort.rv: Distribution of Order Statistics of a Random Vector
Description
sort.rv computes the distribution of the order statistics
of a random vector.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'rv':
sort(x, \dots)
Arguments
x
a random vector
...
further arguments passed to sort.rv
Value
An rv object of the same length as x.
Details
The result is the distribution of the order statistic of the given vector x:
that is, the sort function is applied to each row
of the matrix of simulations of x (sims(x)) and returned then
in random vector form.
See sort for further details of the function sort.
