Pdqr-functions have their own methods for print() which displays function's metadata in readable and concise form.

# S3 method for p
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for d
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for q
print(x, ...)

# S3 method for r
print(x, ...)

## Arguments

x Pdqr-function to print. Further arguments passed to or from other methods.

## Details

Print output of pdqr-function describes the following information:

• Full name of function class:

• P-function is "Cumulative distribution function".

• D-function is "Probability mass function" for "discrete" type and "Probability density function" for "continuous".

• Q-function is "Quantile function".

• R-function is "Random generation function".

• Type of function in the form "of * type" where "*" is "discrete" or "continuous" depending on actual type.

• Support of function.

• Number of elements in distribution for "discrete" type or number of intervals of piecewise-linear density for "continuous" type.

• If pdqr-function has "discrete" type and exactly two possible values 0 and 1, it is treated as "boolean" pdqr-function and probability of 1 is shown. This is done to simplify interactive work with output of comparing functions like >=, etc. (see description of methods for S3 group generic functions). To extract probabilities from "boolean" pdqr-function, use summ_prob_true() and summ_prob_false().

Symbol "~" in print() output indicates that printed value or support is an approximation to a true one (for readability purpose).

Other pdqr methods for generic functions: methods-group-generic, methods-plot

## Examples

print(new_d(1:10, "discrete"))#> Probability mass function of discrete type
#> Support: [1, 10] (10 elements)
r_unif <- as_r(runif, n_grid = 251)
print(r_unif)#> Random generation function of continuous type
#> Support: [0, 1] (250 intervals)
# Printing of boolean pdqr-function
print(r_unif >= 0.3)#> Random generation function of discrete type
#> Support: [0, 1] (2 elements, probability of 1: 0.7)
