Extract.rv {rv}R Documentation

Extract or Replace Parts of a Random Vector

Description

Bracket slice and assignment methods adapted for random vectors and arrays.

Details

x may also be a regular vector that is automatically coerced into an rv object if the compatibility flag has been set to 1 by rvcompatibility(1) (this is the default).

value may be an rv object or a regular numeric object.

Extracting rv objects works the same way as extracting components of a numerical vector or array. The return value is always an object of class 'rv'. Type ?Extract for details.

Note: the index arguments (i, j, etc.) must be constants, but this may change in the future.

Value

A random variable (an rv object).
