Usage

idf(left, right, p)
# S3 method for idf
print(x, ...)

Arguments

left, right

left and right endpoints of intervals on which the distribution function is defined.

p

probabilities allocated to the intervals. Probability values will be normalized inside the function.

x

an object of class idf.

...

other arguments for printing.

Value

left, right

left and right endpoints of intervals on which the distribution function is defined.

p

probabilities allocated to the intervals.
