Returns an array of probabilities each representing F(x_i). The CDF is evaluated for each point in the input array x and the probabilities are returned in the returned array.

open fun cdf(interval: Interval): Double

Returns the probability of being in the interval, F(upper limit) - F(lower limit) Be careful, this is Pr{lower limit < = X < = upper limit} which includes the lower limit and has implications if the distribution is discrete

open fun cdf(x1: Double, x2: Double): Double

Returns the Pr{x1 <= X <= x2} for the distribution. Be careful, this is Pr{x1 <= X <= x2} which includes the lower limit and has implications if the distribution is discrete

open override fun cdf(x: Double): Double

Returns the F(x) = Pr{X <= x} where F represents the cumulative distribution function

complementaryCDF

open fun complementaryCDF(x: Double): Double

Computes the complementary cumulative probability distribution function for given value of x. This is P{X > x}

domain

open override fun domain(): Interval

instance

open override fun instance(): Uniform

invCDF

open fun invCDF(probabilities: DoubleArray): DoubleArray

Computes x_p where P(X <= x_p) = p for the supplied array of probabilities. Requires that the values within the supplied array are in (0,1)

open override fun invCDF(p: Double): Double

Provides the inverse cumulative distribution function for the distribution

likelihood

open fun likelihood(data: DoubleArray): Double

Assuming that the observations in the array data are from a random sample, this function computes the likelihood function. This is computed using as the sum of the log-likelihood function raised to e. Implementation may want to specify other computationally efficient formulas for this function or (most likely) the sum of the log-likelihood function.

logLikelihood

open override fun logLikelihood(x: Double): Double

Computes the natural log of the pdf function evaluated at x. Implementations may want to specify computationally efficient formulas for this function.

mean

open override fun mean(): Double

Returns the mean or expected value of a distribution

parameters

open override fun parameters(): DoubleArray

Gets the parameters for the distribution

open override fun parameters(params: DoubleArray)

Sets the parameters for the distribution where parameters0 is the minimum and parameters1 is the maximum of the range. the minimum must be < maximum

pdf

open override fun pdf(x: Double): Double

Returns the f(x) where f represents the probability density function for the distribution. Note this is not a probability.

randomVariable

open override fun randomVariable(stream: RNStreamIfc): RVariableIfc

open fun randomVariable(streamNum: Int): RVariableIfc

setRange

fun setRange(min: Double, max: Double)

Sets the range

standardDeviation

open fun standardDeviation(): Double

Returns the standard deviation for the distribution as the square root of the variance if it exists

sumLogLikelihood

open fun sumLogLikelihood(data: DoubleArray): Double

Computes the sum of the log-likelihood function evaluated at each observation in the data. Implementations may want to specify computationally efficient formulas for this function.

toString

open override fun toString(): String

variance

open override fun variance(): Double

Returns the variance of the distribution if defined
