This package provides functions for working with continuous binomial and Poisson distributions, including density, distribution, quantile functions, and pseudo-random generation. A short working paper describing the continuous Poisson can be found here. The original work was inspired by this paper.
You can install the package from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("federicoandreis/cbp")Here are some examples of how to use the functions in this package:
# Load the package
library(cbp)
# Compute the density of the continuous binomial distribution
dcbinom(0.5, 1, 0.5)
# Compute the density of the continuous Poisson distribution
dcpoisson(0.5, 1)
# Generate random deviates from a continuous binomial distribution
rcbinom(10, 1, 0.5)
# Generate random deviates from a continuous Poisson distribution
rcpoisson(10, 1)This package is released under the GPL-3 license.
