Method new()

Creates a new instance of this R6 class.

Usage

TruncatedDistribution$new(distribution, lower = NULL, upper = NULL)

Arguments

distribution

([Distribution]) Distribution to wrap.

lower

(numeric(1)) Lower limit to huberize the distribution at. If NULL then the lower bound of the Distribution is used.

upper

(numeric(1)) Upper limit to huberize the distribution at. If NULL then the upper bound of the Distribution is used.

Examples

TruncatedDistribution$new(
  Binomial$new(prob = 0.5, size = 10),
  lower = 2, upper = 4
)

# alternate constructor truncate(Binomial$new(), lower = 2, upper = 4)

Method setParameterValue()

Sets the value(s) of the given parameter(s).

Usage

TruncatedDistribution$setParameterValue(..., lst = NULL, error = "warn")

Arguments

...

ANY Named arguments of parameters to set values for. See examples.

lst

(list(1)) Alternative argument for passing parameters. List names should be parameter names and list values are the new values to set.

error

(character(1)) If "warn" then returns a warning on error, otherwise breaks if "stop".

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

TruncatedDistribution$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Details

The pdf and cdf of the distribution are required for this wrapper, if unavailable decorate with FunctionImputation first.

Truncates a distribution at lower and upper limits on a left-open interval, using the formulae $$f_T(x) = f_X(x) / (F_X(upper) - F_X(lower))$$ $$F_T(x) = (F_X(x) - F_X(lower)) / (F_X(upper) - F_X(lower))$$ where \(f_T\)/\(F_T\) is the pdf/cdf of the truncated distribution T = Truncate(X, lower, upper) and \(f_X\), \(F_X\) is the pdf/cdf of the original distribution. T is supported on (].
