smart_distpars function

Create random distribution parameter values close to given values

smart_distpars generates random degrees of freedom parameter values close to given values.

smart_distpars(distpars, accuracy, cond_dist)

Arguments

• distpars: the old distribution parameters (of all regimes)
• accuracy: a positive real number adjusting how close to the given distribution parameters the returned values should be.

Returns

Returns a numeric vector ...

• If cond_dist == "Gaussian":: of length zero.
• If cond_dist == "Student":: of length one containing a degrees of freedom parameter value (strictly larger than two).
• If cond_dist == "ind_Student":: of length d containing a degrees of freedom parameter values (strictly larger than two).
• If cond_dist == "ind_skewed_t":: of length 2d containing df params strictly larger than two in the first d elements and skewness params strictly between -1 and 1 in the rest d elements.
