Functions for Illustrating the CLT

Description

Functions for generating a sequence of plots of the density and cdf of the consecutive standardized and centered sums of iid r.v. distributed according to a prescribed discrete or absolutely continuous distribution compared to the standard normal — uses the generic function plotCLT.

Usage

illustrateCLT(Distr, len, sleep = 0)
illustrateCLT.tcl(Distr, k, Distrname)

Arguments

Distr

object of class "AbscontDistribution", "LatticeDistribution" or "DiscreteDistribution": distribution of the summands

len

integer: up to which number of summands plots are generated

k

integer: number of summands for which a plot is to be generated

Distrname

character: name of the summand distribution to be used as title in the plot

sleep

numeric: pause in seconds between subsequent plots

Details

illustrateCLT generates a sequence of plots, while illustrateCLT.tcl may be used with Tcl/Tk-widgets as in demo illustCLT_tcl.R.

Value

void
