Class "Exp"
The exponential distribution with rate λ has density
f(x) = lambda e^(- lambda x)
for x ≥ 0.
C.f. rexp
Objects can be created by calls of the form Exp(rate)
.
This object is an exponential distribution.
img
Object of class "Reals"
:
The space of the image of this distribution has got dimension 1
and the name "Real Space".
param
Object of class "ExpParameter"
:
the parameter of this distribution (rate), declared at its instantiation
r
Object of class "function"
:
generates random numbers (calls function rexp)
d
Object of class "function"
:
density function (calls function dexp)
p
Object of class "function"
:
cumulative function (calls function pexp)
q
Object of class "function"
:
inverse of the cumulative function (calls function qexp)

By means of setIs
, R “knows” that a distribution object obj
of class "Exp"
also is
a Gamma distribution with parameters shape = 1, scale = 1/rate(obj)
and a Weibull distribution with
parameters shape = 1, scale = 1/rate(obj)
signature(.Object = "Exp")
:
initialize method
signature(object = "Exp")
:
returns the slot rate of the parameter of the distribution
signature(object = "Exp")
:
modifies the slot rate of the parameter of the distribution
signature(e1 = "Exp", e2 = "numeric")
:
For the exponential distribution we use its closedness under positive scaling transformations.
