dnorm_rvec {rvec}

The Normal Distribution, Using Multiple Draws

Description

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

Usage

dnorm_rvec(x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE)

pnorm_rvec(q, mean = 0, sd = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qnorm_rvec(p, mean = 0, sd = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rnorm_rvec(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, n_draw = NULL)

Arguments

x

Quantiles. Can be an rvec.

mean

Mean of distribution. Default is 0. See stats::dnorm(). Can be an rvec.

sd

Standard deviation. Default is 1. See stats::dnorm(). 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 dnorm_rvec(), pnorm_rvec(), pnorm_rvec() and rnorm_rvec() work like base R functions dnorm(), pnorm(), qnorm(), and rnorm(), except that they accept rvecs as inputs. If any input is an rvec, then the output will be too. Function rnorm_rvec() also returns an rvec if a value for n_draw is supplied.

dnorm_rvec(), pnorm_rvec(), pnorm_rvec() and rnorm_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(3.1, -5.4),
               c(0.1, 2.3)))
dnorm_rvec(x)
pnorm_rvec(x)

rnorm_rvec(n = 2,
           mean = c(-3, 3),
           sd = c(2, 4),
           n_draw = 1000)
