random

A probability distribution object such as those created by
a call to <code><a rd-options="=Bernoulli" href="/link/Bernoulli()?package=distributions3&version=0.2.0&to=%3DBernoulli" data-mini-rdoc="=Bernoulli::Bernoulli()">Bernoulli()</a></code>, <code><a rd-options="=Beta" href="/link/Beta()?package=distributions3&version=0.2.0&to=%3DBeta" data-mini-rdoc="=Beta::Beta()">Beta()</a></code>, or <code><a rd-options="=Binomial" href="/link/Binomial()?package=distributions3&version=0.2.0&to=%3DBinomial" data-mini-rdoc="=Binomial::Binomial()">Binomial()</a></code>.

The number of samples to draw. Should be a positive
integer. Defaults to <code>1L</code>.

logical. Should the result be simplified to a vector if possible?

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

Tools to create and manipulate probability distributions
using S3.  Generics random(), pdf(), cdf() and quantile() provide
replacements for base R's r/d/p/q style functions.  Functions and
arguments have been named carefully to minimize confusion for students
in intro stats courses. The documentation for each distribution
contains detailed mathematical notes.
