RtoDPQ.LC generates 10^e random numbers, by default
e = RtoDPQ.e
.
Replicates are assumed to be part of the discrete part, unique values to be
part of the a.c. part of the distribution. For the replicated ones,
we generate a discrete distribution by a call to DiscreteDistribution.
For the a.c. part, similarly to RtoDPQ we have an optional parameter y
for using N. Horbenko's quantile trick: i.e.; on an equally spaced grid x.grid on [0,1], apply
f(q(x)(x.grid)), write the result to y and use these
values instead of simulated ones.
The a.c. density is formed on the basis of n points using approxfun and density (applied to the unique values), by default
n = DefaultNrGridPoints
.
The cumulative distribution function is based on all random variables,
and, as well as the quantile function, is also created on the basis of n points using
approxfun and ecdf. Of course, the results are usually not exact as they rely on random numbers.
RtoDPQ.LC returns an object of class UnivarLebDecDistribution.
Use RtoDPQ for absolutely continuous and RtoDPQ.d for discrete distributions.
