DiscreteNormal

Discrete normal distribution


Description

Probability mass function, distribution function and random generation for discrete normal distribution.

Usage

ddnorm(x, mean = 0, sd = 1, log = FALSE)

pdnorm(q, mean = 0, sd = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rdnorm(n, mean = 0, sd = 1)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

mean

vector of means.

sd

vector of standard deviations.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X ≤ x] otherwise, P[X > x].

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

Details

Probability mass function

f(x) = Φ((x-μ+1)/σ) - Φ((x-μ)/σ)

Cumulative distribution function

F(x) = Φ((floor(x)+1-μ)/σ)
