Distribution: Distribution S7 Class

Description

S7 class for representing probability distributions used in statistical testing, including PDF, CDF, quantile functions, and fitting procedures.

Usage

Distribution(
  name = stop("@name is required"),
  pdf = stop("@pdf is required"),
  cdf = stop("@cdf is required"),
  quantile_function = stop("@quantile_function is required"),
  fitting_function = stop("@fitting_function is required"),
  param_names = stop("@param_names is required")
)

Arguments

name

Character string identifying the distribution

pdf

Function for probability density function

cdf

Function for cumulative distribution function

quantile_function

Function for quantile calculations

fitting_function

Function to fit distribution parameters from data

param_names

Character vector of parameter names

Details

The Distribution class provides a unified interface for different probability distributions used in phylotranscriptomic testing. Each distribution includes the necessary functions for statistical inference.

Examples

# Access predefined distributions
normal_dist <- distributions$normal
gamma_dist <- distributions$gamma
