Description

quantile() is the inverse of cdf().

Usage

# S3 method for Poisson
quantile(x, probs, ...)

Arguments

x

A Poisson object created by a call to Poisson().

probs

A vector of probabilities.

...

Unused. Unevaluated arguments will generate a warning to catch mispellings or other possible errors.

Value

A vector of quantiles, one for each element of probs.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
set.seed(27)

X <- Poisson(2)
X

random(X, 10)

pdf(X, 2)
log_pdf(X, 2)

cdf(X, 4)
quantile(X, 0.7)

cdf(X, quantile(X, 0.7))
quantile(X, cdf(X, 7))
