makeDist — makeDist • BMisc

Legacy name of `make_dist` function, please use that function instead. This function will eventually be deleted.

Usage

makeDist(
  x,
  Fx,
  sorted = FALSE,
  rearrange = FALSE,
  force01 = FALSE,
  method = "constant"
)

x: vector of values
Fx: vector of the distribution function values
sorted: boolean indicating whether or not x is already sorted; computation is somewhat faster if already sorted
rearrange: boolean indicating whether or not should monotize distribution function
force01: boolean indicating whether or not to force the values of the distribution function (i.e. Fx) to be between 0 and 1
method: which method to pass to approxfun to approximate the distribution function. Default is "constant"; other possible choice is "linear". "constant" returns a step function, just like an empirical cdf; "linear" linearly interpolates between neighboring points.
