Mathematical functions and Operators for rv Objects

Description

Mathematical functions and operators adapted to work with random variable (rv) objects.

Usage

  ## S3 method for class 'rv':
  Math(x, ...)
  ## S3 method for class 'rv':
  Ops(e1, e2)

Arguments

x object
e1 object
e2 object
... further arguments passed to or from other methods
