plot.dist_spec function

Plot PMF and CDF for a dist_spec object

This function takes a <dist_spec> object and plots its probability mass function (PMF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) using {ggplot2}.

## S3 method for class 'dist_spec'
plot(x, samples = 50L, res = 1, cumulative = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

• x: A <dist_spec> object
• samples: Integer; Number of samples to generate for distributions with uncertain parameters (default: 50).
• res: Numeric; Resolution of the PMF and CDF (default: 1, i.e. integer discretisation).
• cumulative: Logical; whether to plot the cumulative distribution in addition to the probability mass function
• ...: ignored

Examples

# A fixed lognormal distribution with mean 5 and sd 1.
dist1 <- LogNormal(mean = 1.6, sd = 0.5, max = 20)
# Plot discretised distribution with 1 day discretisation window
plot(dist1)
# Plot discretised distribution with 0.01 day discretisation window
plot(dist1, res = 0.01, cumulative = FALSE)

# An uncertain gamma distribution with shape and rate normally distributed
# as Normal(3, 0.5) and Normal(2, 0.5) respectively
dist2 <- Gamma(
  shape = Normal(3, 0.5),
  rate = Normal(2, 0.5),
  max = 20
)
plot(dist2)

# Multiple distributions with 0.1 discretisation window and do not plot the
# cumulative distribution
plot(dist1 + dist2, res = 0.1, cumulative = FALSE)
