What is r-cran-rcppdist
r-cran-rcppdist is:
The ‘Rcpp’ package provides a C++ library to make it easier to use C++ with R. R and ‘Rcpp’ provide functions for a variety of statistical distributions.
Several R packages make functions available to R for additional statistical distributions. However, to access these functions from C++ code, a costly call to the R functions must be made. ‘RcppDist’ provides a header-only C++ library with functions for additional statistical distributions that can be called from C++ when writing code using ‘Rcpp’ or ‘RcppArmadillo’. Functions are available that return a ‘NumericVector’ as well as doubles, and for multivariate or matrix distributions, ‘Armadillo’ vectors and matrices.
‘RcppDist’ provides functions for the following distributions:
- the four parameter beta distribution;
- the location-scale t distribution;
- the truncated normal distribution;
- the truncated t distribution;
- a truncated location-scale t distribution;
- the triangle distribution;
- the multivariate normal distribution*;
- the multivariate t distribution*;
- the Wishart distribution*; and
- the inverse Wishart distribution*. Distributions marked with an asterisk rely on ‘RcppArmadillo’.
