Summary group generic for distribution objects. — Summary.dist • algebraic.dist

Handles sum(), prod(), min(), max() of distributions.

# S3 method for class 'dist'
Summary(..., na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

...: dist objects
na.rm: ignored

Value

A simplified distribution or edist

Examples

# sum() reduces via + operator
z <- sum(normal(0, 1), normal(2, 3))
z  # Normal(mu = 2, var = 4)
#> Normal distribution (mu = 2, var = 4) 

# min() of exponentials simplifies
w <- min(exponential(1), exponential(2))
w  # Exponential(rate = 3)
#> Exponential distribution (rate = 3)
