Random number generation for exponential series.

Source: R/exp_series.R
rexp_series.Rd

Generates random variates from an exponential series distribution.

Usage

rexp_series(n, rates, keep_latent = FALSE)

Arguments

n

Integer, number of observations to generate.

rates

Vector of rate parameters for exponential component lifetimes.

keep_latent

Logical; if TRUE, returns a matrix with system lifetimes in the first column and individual component lifetimes in subsequent columns. If FALSE (default), returns only system lifetimes.

Value

If keep_latent = FALSE, a vector of random variates from the exponential series distribution. If keep_latent = TRUE, a matrix with system lifetime in the first column and component lifetimes in columns 2 through m+1.
