Get the names of the natural parameters of a distribution

These are the natural (canonical) parameters of a distribution, such as shape and rate for a gamma distribution or meanlog and sdlog for a lognormal distribution. All other parameter representations (for example a mean and standard deviation) are converted to these using convert_to_natural().

Usage

natural_params(x)

Arguments

x

A <dist_spec>.

Value

A character vector, the natural parameters.

Examples

natural_params(Gamma(shape = 1, rate = 1))
#> [1] "shape" "rate" 
# a distribution type can also be given by name
natural_params("gamma")
#> [1] "shape" "rate"
