desireVar {simglm} | R Documentation |
Computes mixture normal variance
Description
Input the desired variance, number of distributions, and mean of the distributions, returns a value of the variance of each mixture distribution.
Usage
desireVar(desVar, num_dist, means, equalWeight = TRUE)
Arguments
desVar |
Desired overall variance of mixture normal distribution. |
num_dist |
Number of normal distributions. |
means |
Vector of means for each normal distribution. Must equal num_dist. |
equalWeight |
Should equal weights be used, only TRUE is currently supported. |
Details
This function can be used to generate the inputs for the rbimod
variances when a specific variance is desired. Especially useful when
attempting to simulate a mixture normal/bimodal distribution.
