Details

The package contains functions for working with the Voigt distribution in the R environment:

rvoigt generates random variates

dvoigt calculates voigt density

evoigt estimates parameters following a Bayesian approach

otherwise unavailable within R (R < 4.4.1). The main function evoigt provides both point and interval estimates for the Voigt parameters using a Bayesian approach.
