dcauchy_rvec {rvec}

The Cauchy Distribution, Using Multiple Draws

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Cauchy distribution, modified to work with rvecs.

Usage

dcauchy_rvec(x, location = 0, scale = 1, log = FALSE)

pcauchy_rvec(q, location = 0, scale = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qcauchy_rvec(p, location = 0, scale = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rcauchy_rvec(n, location = 0, scale = 1, n_draw = NULL)

Arguments

x

Quantiles. Can be an rvec.

location

Center of distribution. Default is 0. See stats::dcauchy(). Can be an rvec.

scale

Scale parameter. Default is 1. See stats::dcauchy(). Can be an rvec.

log, log.p

Whether to return results on a log scale. Default is FALSE. Cannot be an rvec.

q

Quantiles. Can be an rvec.

lower.tail

Whether to return P[X \le x], as opposed to P[X > x]. Default is TRUE. Cannot be an rvec.

p

Probabilities. Can be an rvec.

n

The length of random vector being created. Cannot be an rvec.

n_draw

Number of random draws in the random vector being created. Cannot be an rvec.

Details

Functions dcauchy_rvec(), pcauchy_rvec(), pcauchy_rvec() and rcauchy_rvec() work like base R functions dcauchy(), pcauchy(), qcauchy(), and rcauchy(), except that they accept rvecs as inputs. If any input is an rvec, then the output will be too. Function rcauchy_rvec() also returns an rvec if a value for n_draw is supplied.

dcauchy_rvec(), pcauchy_rvec(), pcauchy_rvec() and rcauchy_rvec() use tidyverse vector recycling rules:

• Vectors of length 1 are recycled

• All other vectors must have the same size

Value

• If any of the arguments are rvecs, or if a value for n_draw is supplied, then an rvec

• Otherwise an ordinary R vector.

Examples

x <- rvec(list(c(3, -5.1),
               c(0, -2.3)))
dcauchy_rvec(x)
pcauchy_rvec(x)

rcauchy_rvec(n = 2,
             location = c(-5, 5),
             n_draw = 1000)
