dist_rand {poweRlaw}

Random number generation for the distribution objects

Description

This is generic function for generating random numbers from the underlying distribution of the distribution reference objects. This function generates n random numbers using the parameters and xmin values found in the associated reference object.

Usage

dist_rand(m, n)

## S4 method for signature 'conlnorm'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'conexp'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'conpl'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'conweibull'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'disexp'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'dislnorm'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'displ'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

## S4 method for signature 'dispois'
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

Arguments

m

a distribution object.

n

number of observations to be generated.

Value

n random numbers

Note

This method does not alter the internal state of the distribution object.
