Internal function for generating a dist_spec given parameters and a distribution. — new_dist_spec • EpiNow2

This will convert all parameters to natural parameters before generating a dist_spec. If they have uncertainty this will be done using sampling.

Usage

new_dist_spec(params, distribution, max = Inf, tolerance = 0)

Arguments

params: Parameters of the distribution (including max)
distribution: Character; the distribution to use.
max: Numeric, maximum value of the distribution. The distribution will be truncated at this value. Default: Inf, i.e. no maximum.
tolerance: Numeric; the desired tolerance level. Any part of the cumulative distribution function beyond 1 minus this tolerance level is removed. Default: 0, i.e. use the full distribution.

Value

A dist_spec of the given specification.

Examples

new_dist_spec(
  params = list(mean = 2, sd = 1),
  distribution = "normal"
)
#> - normal distribution:
#>   mean:
#>     2
#>   sd:
#>     1
