+.dist_spec: Creates a delay distribution as the sum of two other delay distributions.

Description

Usage

# S3 method for dist_spec
+(e1, e2)

Value

A delay distribution representing the sum of the two delays

Arguments

e1

The first delay distribution (of type <dist_spec>) to combine.

e2

The second delay distribution (of type <dist_spec>) to combine.

Examples

# A fixed lognormal distribution with mean 5 and sd 1.
dist1 <- LogNormal(
  meanlog = 1.6, sdlog = 1, max = 20
)
dist1 + dist1

# An uncertain gamma distribution with shape and rate normally distributed
# as Normal(3, 0.5) and Normal(2, 0.5) respectively
dist2 <- Gamma(
  shape = Normal(3, 0.5),
  rate = Normal(2, 0.5),
  max = 20
)
dist1 + dist2
