uniform_distribution: Uniform Distribution Functions

Description

Functions to compute the probability density function, cumulative distribution function, and quantile function for the Uniform distribution.

Usage

uniform_distribution(lower = 0, upper = 1)
uniform_pdf(x, lower = 0, upper = 1)
uniform_lpdf(x, lower = 0, upper = 1)
uniform_cdf(x, lower = 0, upper = 1)
uniform_lcdf(x, lower = 0, upper = 1)
uniform_quantile(p, lower = 0, upper = 1)

Value

A single numeric value with the computed probability density, log-probability density, cumulative distribution, log-cumulative distribution, or quantile depending on the function called.

Arguments

lower

lower bound of the distribution (default is 0)

upper

upper bound of the distribution (default is 1)

x

quantile

p

probability (0 <= p <= 1)
