rv (version 2.3.2)

Math.rv: Mathematical functions and Operators for rv Objects

Description

Mathematical functions and operators adapted to work with random variable (rv) objects.

Usage

# S3 method for rv
Math(x, ...)
  # S3 method for rv
Ops(e1, e2)

Arguments

x

object

e1

object

e2

object

…

further arguments passed to or from other methods

Details

The operator method preserves the names of the longer vector (or those of the first if the lengths match).
