Package 'boodist'

Title: Some Distributions from the 'Boost' Library and More
Description: Make some distributions from the 'C++' library 'Boost' available in 'R'. In addition, the normal-inverse Gaussian distribution and the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution are provided. The distributions are represented by 'R6' classes. The method to sample from the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution is the one given in "Random variate generation for the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution" Luc Devroye (2012) <doi:10.1007/s11222-012-9367-z>.

Note

The cumulative distribution function is evaluated by integrating the density function (in C++). Its returned value has two attributes: a numeric vector "error_estimate" and an integer vector "error_code". The error code is 0 if no problem is detected. If an error code is not 0, a warning is thrown. The quantile function is evaluated by root-finding and then the user must provide some bounds enclosing the values of the quantiles or choose the automatic bounds. A maximum number of iterations is fixed in the root-finding algorithm. If it is reached, a warning is thrown.
