dist_rand: Random number generation for the distribution objects

Description

This is generic function for generating random numbers from the underlying distribution of the distribution reference objects. This function generates n random numbers using the parameters and xmin values found in the associated reference object.

Usage

dist_rand(m, n)
# S4 method for conlnorm
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for conexp
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for conpl
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for conweibull
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for disexp
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for dislnorm
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for displ
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")
# S4 method for dispois
dist_rand(m, n = "numeric")

Value
