24_categorical_distributions: Categorical Models

Description

Fit categorical distributions, from data.

Usage

#univariate
pmfuv.cat (g, h, …, freq=FALSE)
cdfuv.cat (g, h, …)
qfuv.cat (g, h, …)
#conditional
pmfc.cat (g, h, …, conditions, warning=TRUE, freq=FALSE)
cdfc.cat (g, h, …, conditions, warning=TRUE)
qfc.cat (g, h, …, conditions, warning=TRUE)

Arguments

g

Integer/factor/character vector of groups. Also, can be a named list of such vectors. For univariate distributions, the list should only have one vector. For conditional distributions, the list needs two or more equal-length vectors.

h

Optional numeric vector of frequencies (or weights). The length of n should equal the length of the g vectors.

conditions

An integer vector of category indices, a character vector of category names, or a list which can contain either integers (indices) or strings (names). The vector or list can be named (which is preferable) or unnamed. If named, then the names are matched against the variable names. If unnamed, then the first condition applies to the first variable, and the second condition applies to the second variable, and so on. Note that the number of conditions needs to equal the number of variables minus one.

freq

Logical, if true, the resulting function object returns frequencies, by default.

warning

Logical, if true, generate warning if there's no observations within the conditional window.

…

Ignored.

Value

Self-referencing function objects.

Refer to Mockup Function Objects

Except: The constructors for conditional distributions, return NULL, if there's no observations within the conditional window. (And by default, generate a warning).
