distributionParams {HKRbook}

distributionParams

Description

Computes approximate distribution parameters for the binomial, hypergeometric, Poisson, Exponential and normal distribution for a given mean (and standard deviation). With the sample and the population size the computation can be influenced.

Usage

distributionParams(mean, sd, n = 30, N = 60)

Arguments

mean

numeric: mean

sd

numeric: standard deviation (only used for the normal distribution)

n

integer: sample size (default: 30)

N

integer: population size (default: 60)

Value

a list of parameters for each distribution

Examples

# Compute approx. paramaters for a binomial distribution
distributionParams(mean=30*0.5, sd=sqrt(30*0.5*0.5))
