Distribution manipulationΒΆ

In this example we are going to exhibit some of the services exposed by the distribution objects:

  • ask for the dimension, with the method getDimension

  • extract the marginal distributions, with the method getMarginal

  • to ask for some properties, with isContinuous, isDiscrete, isElliptical

  • to get the copula, with the method getCopula*

  • to ask for some properties on the copula, with the methods hasIndependentCopula, hasEllipticalCopula

  • to evaluate some moments, with getMean, getStandardDeviation, getCovariance, getSkewness, getKurtosis

  • to evaluate the roughness, with the method getRoughness

  • to get one realization or simultaneously n realizations, with the method getRealization, getSample

  • to evaluate the probability content of a given interval, with the method computeProbability

  • to evaluate a quantile or a complementary quantile, with the method computeQuantile

  • to evaluate the characteristic function of the distribution

  • to evaluate the derivative of the CDF or PDF

  • to draw some curves
