flat.LCD {distr}R Documentation

Flattening a list of Lebesgue decomposed distributions

Description

flattens a list of Lebesgue decomposed distributions endowed with weights to give one Lebesgue decomposed distribution

Usage

flat.LCD(..., mixCoeff = NULL, withgaps = getdistrOption("withgaps"))

Arguments

... list of Lebesgue decomposed distributions
mixCoeff Object of class "numeric" of the same length as ...: a vector of probabilities for the mixing components.
withgaps logical; shall gaps be detected empirically?

Details

flat.LCD flattens a list of Lebesgue decomposed distributions given through ..., i.e., it takes all list elements and mixing coefficients and builds up the mixed distribution (forgetting about the components); the result will be one distribution of class UnivarLebDecDistribution. If mixCoeff is missing, all list elements are equally weighted. It is used internally in our methods for "*", "/", "^" (see operators-methods), Minimum, and convpow, as well in method flat.mix.

Value

flat.LCD returns an object of class UnivarLebDecDistribution.
