Evaluate the probability mass function of a hurdle negative binomial distribution

Usage

# S3 method for class 'HurdleNegativeBinomial'
pdf(d, x, drop = TRUE, elementwise = NULL, ...)

# S3 method for class 'HurdleNegativeBinomial'
log_pdf(d, x, drop = TRUE, elementwise = NULL, ...)

Arguments

d

A HurdleNegativeBinomial object created by a call to HurdleNegativeBinomial().

x

A vector of elements whose probabilities you would like to determine given the distribution d.

drop

logical. Should the result be simplified to a vector if possible?

elementwise

logical. Should each distribution in d be evaluated at all elements of x (elementwise = FALSE, yielding a matrix)? Or, if d and x have the same length, should the evaluation be done element by element (elementwise = TRUE, yielding a vector)? The default of NULL means that elementwise = TRUE is used if the lengths match and otherwise elementwise = FALSE is used.

...

Arguments to be passed to dhnbinom. Unevaluated arguments will generate a warning to catch mispellings or other possible errors.

Value

In case of a single distribution object, either a numeric vector of length probs (if drop = TRUE, default) or a matrix with length(x) columns (if drop = FALSE). In case of a vectorized distribution object, a matrix with length(x) columns containing all possible combinations.

Examples

## set up a hurdle negative binomial distribution
X <- HurdleNegativeBinomial(mu = 2.5, theta = 1, pi = 0.75)
X
#> [1] "HurdleNegativeBinomial(mu = 2.5, theta = 1, pi = 0.75)"

## standard functions
pdf(X, 0:8)
#> [1] 0.25000000 0.21428571 0.15306122 0.10932945 0.07809246 0.05578033 0.03984309
#> [8] 0.02845935 0.02032811
cdf(X, 0:8)
#> [1] 0.2500000 0.4642857 0.6173469 0.7266764 0.8047688 0.8605492 0.9003923
#> [8] 0.9288516 0.9491797
quantile(X, seq(0, 1, by = 0.25))
#> [1]   0   0   2   4 Inf

## cdf() and quantile() are inverses for each other
quantile(X, cdf(X, 3))
#> [1] 3

## corresponding sample with histogram of empirical frequencies

x <- random(X, 500)
hist(x, breaks = -1:max(x) + 0.5)
