fix_parameters function

Fix the parameters of a <dist_spec>

If the given <dist_spec> has any uncertainty, it is removed and the corresponding distribution converted into a fixed one.

## S3 method for class 'dist_spec'
fix_parameters(x, strategy = c("mean", "sample"), ...)

Arguments

• x: A <dist_spec>
• strategy: Character; either "mean" (use the mean estimates of the mean and standard deviation) or "sample" (randomly sample mean and standard deviation from uncertainty given in the <dist_spec>
• ...: ignored

Returns

A <dist_spec> object without uncertainty

Examples

# An uncertain gamma distribution with shape and rate normally distributed
# as Normal(3, 0.5) and Normal(2, 0.5) respectively
dist <- Gamma(
  shape = Normal(3, 0.5),
  rate = Normal(2, 0.5),
  max = 20
)
