Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Beta distribution, modified to work with rvecs.

Usage

dbeta_rvec(x, shape1, shape2, ncp = 0, log = FALSE)

pbeta_rvec(q, shape1, shape2, ncp = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qbeta_rvec(p, shape1, shape2, ncp = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rbeta_rvec(n, shape1, shape2, ncp = 0, n_draw = NULL)

Arguments

x

Quantiles. Can be an rvec.

shape1, shape2

Parameters for beta distribution. Non-negative. See stats::dbeta(). Can be an rvecs.

ncp

Non-centrality parameter. Default is 0. Cannot be an rvec.

log, log.p

Whether to return results on a log scale. Default is FALSE. Cannot be an rvec.

q

Quantiles. Can be an rvec.

lower.tail

Whether to return \(P[X \le x]\), as opposed to \(P[X > x]\). Default is TRUE. Cannot be an rvec.

p

Probabilities. Can be an rvec.

n

The length of random vector being created. Cannot be an rvec.

n_draw

Number of random draws in the random vector being created. Cannot be an rvec.

Value

  • If any of the arguments are rvecs, or if a value for n_draw is supplied, then an rvec

  • Otherwise an ordinary R vector.

Details

Functions dbeta_rvec(), pbeta_rvec(), pbeta_rvec() and rbeta_rvec() work like base R functions dbeta(), pbeta(), qbeta(), and rbeta(), except that they accept rvecs as inputs. If any input is an rvec, then the output will be too. Function rbeta_rvec() also returns an rvec if a value for n_draw is supplied.

dbeta_rvec(), pbeta_rvec(), pbeta_rvec() and rbeta_rvec() use tidyverse vector recycling rules:

  • Vectors of length 1 are recycled

  • All other vectors must have the same size

Examples

x <- rvec(list(c(0, 0.25),
               c(0.5, 0.99)))
dbeta_rvec(x, shape1 = 1, shape2 = 1)
#> <rvec_dbl<2>[2]>
#> [1] 1,1 1,1
pbeta_rvec(x, shape1 = 1, shape2 = 1)
#> <rvec_dbl<2>[2]>
#> [1] 0,0.25   0.5,0.99

rbeta_rvec(n = 2,
           shape = 1:2,
           shape2 = 1,
           n_draw = 1000)
#> <rvec_dbl<1000>[2]>
#> [1] 0.53 (0.025, 0.98) 0.71 (0.17, 0.99)
