distr (version 2.6)

UnivarMixingDistribution: Generating function for Class "UnivarMixingDistribution"

Description

Generates an object of class "UnivarMixingDistribution".

Usage

UnivarMixingDistribution(..., Dlist, mixCoeff, withSimplify = getdistrOption("simplifyD"))

Arguments

...
Objects of class "UnivariateDistribution" (or subclasses)
Dlist
an optional list or object of class "UnivarDistrList"; if not missing it is appended to argument ...; this way UnivarMixingDistribution may also be called with a list (or "UnivarDistrList"-object) as argument as suggested in an e-mail by Krunoslav Sever (thank you!)
mixCoeff
Objects of class "numeric" : a vector of probabilities for the mixing components (must be of same length as arguments in ...).
withSimplify
"logical": shall the return value be piped through a call to simplifyD?

Value

"UnivarMixingDistribution", or if argument withSimplify is TRUE and the resulting object would have one mixing component with probability (almost) 1, UnivarMixingDistribution will return this component.

Details

If mixCoeff is missing, all elements in ... are equally weighted.
