function to do get empirical density, cumulative distribution and quantile function from random numbers
RtoDPQ.LC(r, e = getdistrOption("RtoDPQ.e"), n = getdistrOption("DefaultNrGridPoints"))
r |
the random number generator |
e |
10^e numbers are generated, a higher number leads to a better result. |
n |
The number of grid points used to create the approximated functions, a higher number leads to a better result. |
RtoDPQ.LC generates 10^e random numbers, by default
e = RtoDPQ.e
.
Replicates are assumed to be part of the discrete part, unique values to be
part of the a.c. part of the distribution. For the replicated ones,
we generate a discrete distribution by a call to DiscreteDistribution.
The a.c. density is formed on the basis of n
points using approxfun and density (applied to the unique values), by default
n = DefaultNrGridPoints
.
The cumulative distribution function is based on all random variables,
and, as well as the quantile function, is also created on the basis of n points using
approxfun and ecdf. Of course, the results are usually not exact as they rely on random numbers.
RtoDPQ.LC returns an object of class UnivarLebDecDistribution.
Use RtoDPQ for absolutely continuous and RtoDPQ.d for discrete distributions.
