Method new()

Create a new object of class distribution.continuous.normal.class

Usage

distribution.continuous.normal.class$new(mean, sd)

Arguments

mean

The mean of the normal distribution.

sd

The standard deviation of the normal distribution.

---

Method d()

Density function for a normal random variable with mean $params$mean and standard deviation $params$sd.

Usage

distribution.continuous.normal.class$d(x, log = FALSE)

Arguments

x

vector of quantiles.

log

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

---

Method p()

Cumulative density function for a normal random variable with mean $params$mean and standard deviation $params$sd.

Usage

distribution.continuous.normal.class$p(q, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

Arguments

q

vector of quantiles.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[ X \leq x ]\), otherwise, \(P[X>x]\).

log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

---

Method q()

Quantile function for a normal random variable with mean $params$mean and standard deviation $params$sd.

Usage

distribution.continuous.normal.class$q(p, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

Arguments

p

vector of probabilities.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[ X \leq x ]\), otherwise, \(P[X>x]\).

log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

---

Method r()

Generates random deviates for a normal random variable with mean $params$mean and standard deviation $params$sd.

Usage

distribution.continuous.normal.class$r(n)

Arguments

n

number of observations. If length( n ) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

distribution.continuous.normal.class$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.
