S7 class for representing probability distributions used in
statistical testing, including PDF, CDF, quantile functions, and fitting procedures.
Usage
Distribution(
name = stop("@name is required"),
pdf = stop("@pdf is required"),
cdf = stop("@cdf is required"),
quantile_function = stop("@quantile_function is required"),
fitting_function = stop("@fitting_function is required"),
param_names = stop("@param_names is required")
)
Arguments
- name
Character string identifying the distribution
- pdf
Function for probability density function
- cdf
Function for cumulative distribution function
- quantile_function
Function for quantile calculations
- fitting_function
Function to fit distribution parameters from data
- param_names
Character vector of parameter names
Details
The Distribution class provides a unified interface for different probability
distributions used in phylotranscriptomic testing. Each distribution includes
the necessary functions for statistical inference.
Examples
# Access predefined distributions
# normal_dist <- distributions$normal
# gamma_dist <- distributions$gamma
