Returns the maximum of one or more delay distribution

This works out the maximum of all the (parametric / nonparametric) delay distributions combined in the passed <dist_spec> (ignoring any uncertainty in parameters)

Usage

# S3 method for class 'dist_spec'
max(x, ...)

Arguments

x: The <dist_spec> to use
...: Not used

Value

A vector of means.

Examples

# A fixed gamma distribution with mean 5 and sd 1.
dist1 <- Gamma(mean = 5, sd = 1, max = 20)
max(dist1)
#> [1] 20

# An uncertain lognormal distribution with mean 3 and sd 2
dist2 <- LogNormal(mean = Normal(3, 0.5), sd = Normal(2, 0.5), max = 20)
#> Warning: ! Uncertain lognormal distribution specified in terms of parameters that are
#>   not the "natural" parameters of the distribution meanlog and sdlog.
#> ℹ Converting using a crude and very approximate method that is likely to
#>   produce biased results.
#> ℹ If possible it is preferable to specify the distribution directly in terms of
#>   the natural parameters.
max(dist2)
#> [1] 20

# The max the sum of two distributions
max(dist1 + dist2)
#> [1] 20 20
