empirical_dist object x
under function g.R/empirical_dist.R
expectation.empirical_dist.RdMethod for obtaining the expectation of empirical_dist object x
under function g.
# S3 method for empirical_dist
expectation(x, g = function(t) t, ..., control = list())The distribution object.
The function to take the expectation of.
Additional arguments to pass into function g.
a list of control parameters: compute_stats - Whether to compute CIs for the expectations, defaults to FALSE n - The number of samples to use for the MC estimate, defaults to 10000 alpha - The significance level for the confidence interval, defaults to 0.05
If compute_stats is FALSE, then the estimate of the expectation,
otherwise a list with the following components:
value - The estimate of the expectation
ci - The confidence intervals for each component of the expectation
n - The number of samples
