quantile() is the inverse of cdf().

Usage

# S3 method for Bernoulli
quantile(x, probs, drop = TRUE, elementwise = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

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

probs

A vector of probabilities.

drop

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

elementwise

logical. Should each distribution in x be evaluated at all elements of probs (elementwise = FALSE, yielding a matrix)? Or, if x and probs 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 qbinom. 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(probs) columns (if drop = FALSE). In case of a vectorized distribution object, a matrix with length(probs) columns containing all possible combinations.
