rlogcon: Generate random sample from the log-concave and the smoothed log-concave density estimator

Description

Generate a random sample from a distribution with density \(\hat f_n\) and \(\hat f_n^*\), as described in Duembgen and Rufibach (2009, Section 3).

Usage

rlogcon(n, x0)

Value

X

Random sample from \(\hat f_n\).

X_star

Random sample from \(\hat f_n^*\).

U

Uniform random sample of size n used in the generation of X.

Z

Normal random sample of size n used in the generation of X_star.

f

Computed log-concave density estimator.

f.smoothed

List containing smoothed log-concave density estimator, as output by evaluateLogConDens.

x

Vector of distinct observations generated from x0.

w

Weights corresponding to x.

Arguments

n

Size of random sample to be generated.

x0

Sorted vector of independent and identically distributed numbers, not necessarily unique.
