Bernoulli Distribution
Description
These functions provide the density, distribution function, quantile function, and random generation for the Bernoulli distribution.
Usage
dbern(x, prob, log=FALSE)
pbern(q, prob, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p=FALSE)
qbern(p, prob, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p=FALSE)
rbern(n, prob)
Arguments

These are each a vector of quantiles. |
p |
This is a vector of probabilities. |
n |
This is the number of observations. If |
prob |
This is the probability of success on each trial. |
log , log.p |
Logical. if |
lower.tail |

Application: Continuous Univariate
Density:
p(\theta) = {p}^{\theta} {(1-p)}^{1-\theta}

Notation 1:
\theta \sim \mathcal{BERN}(p)
Notation 2:
p(\theta) = \mathcal{BERN}(\theta | p)
Parameter 1: probability parameter
0 \le p \le 1
Mean:
E(\theta) = p
Variance:

The Bernoulli distribution is a binomial distribution with
n=1
, and one instance of a Bernoulli distribution is called a
Bernoulli trial. One coin flip is a Bernoulli trial, for example. The
categorical distribution is the generalization of the Bernoulli
distribution for variables with more than two discrete values. The
beta distribution is the conjugate prior distribution of the Bernoulli
distribution. The geometric distribution is the number of Bernoulli
trials needed to get one success.
Value
dbern
gives the density,
pbern
gives the distribution function,
qbern
gives the quantile function, and
rbern
generates random deviates.
