Statistics[ProbabilityDensityFunction] - compute the probability density function
Calling Sequence
ProbabilityDensityFunction(X, t, options)
PDF(X, t, options)
Parameters
X
-
algebraic; random variable or distribution
t
algebraic; point
options
(optional) equation of the form numeric=value; specifies options for computing the probability density function of a random variable
Description
The ProbabilityDensityFunction function computes the probability density function of the specified random variable at the specified point.
The first parameter can be a distribution (see Statistics[Distribution]), a random variable, or an algebraic expression involving random variables (see Statistics[RandomVariable]).
Computation
By default, all computations involving random variables are performed symbolically (see option numeric below).
For more information about computation in the Statistics package, see the Statistics[Computation] help page.
Options
The options argument can contain one or more of the options shown below. More information for some options is available in the Statistics[RandomVariables] help page.
numeric=truefalse -- By default, the probability density function is computed using exact arithmetic. To compute the probability density function numerically, specify the numeric or numeric = true option.
mainbranch - returns the main branch of the distribution only.
Examples
Compute the probability density function of the beta distribution with parameters p and q.
Use numeric parameters.
Define new distribution.
