density_fun: A way to represent distributions to be conflated

Description

density_fun: A way to represent distributions to be conflated

Usage

density_fun(x, dist, ...)

Arguments

x

a symbol which needs to be present in order to allow passing values towards the distruibution generator. It should be just x, without quotation marks (see examples).

dist

A character (using single quotes!) with the name of the distribution to use.

...

Parameters to be passed on to dist. See examples

Details

Produces a definition of each individual distribution to be conflated and provides the symbol for non-standard evaluation (x). Single quotes in dist are mandatory in order to avoid issues when calling expressions under the hood. See the documentation for each individual distribution to call their parameters adequately. Argument names and values should be used.

Value

A call from the elements of the distribution to be used.

Examples

c("density_fun(x, 'dnorm', mean=0, sd=1)",
  "density_fun(x, 'dnorm', mean=-1, sd=1)",
  "density_fun(x, 'dnorm', mean=1, sd=1)")
