PDF

Interface

PDF

This function evaluates the PDF of the Burr distribution with given arguments, defined by

where

In the example that follows the PDF is evaluated using values of the argument from 0 up to 0.8, with a step equal to 0.1, while the parameters have fixed values -0.5, 0.7, 2.5 and 3.5 correspondingly. The maximum number of precision digits, implicitly set to 17, may be changed through the <em> PRECISION </em> define.

Example 1

#include <codecogs/stats/dists/continuous/burr/pdf.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
 
#define PRECISION 17
 
int main()
{
  std::cout << "The values of the Burr PDF with " << std::endl;
  std::cout << "a = -0.5, b = 0.7, c = 2.5, d = 3.5 and" << std::endl;
  std::cout << "x = {0, 0.1, 0.2, ... , 0.8} are" << std::endl;
  std::cout << std::endl;
  std::cout << std::setprecision(10);
  for (double x = 0; x < 0.81; x += 0.1)
  {
    std::cout << std::setprecision(1);
    std::cout << "x = " << std::setw(3) << x << " : ";
    std::cout << std::setprecision(PRECISION);
    std::cout << Stats::Dists::Continuous::Burr::PDF(x, -0.5, 0.7, 2.5, 3.5);
    std::cout << std::endl;
  }
  return 0;
}

Output

The values of the Burr PDF with
a = -0.5, b = 0.7, c = 2.5, d = 3.5 and
x = {0, 0.1, 0.2, ... , 0.8} are
 
x =   0 : 0.18355435441993792
x = 0.1 : 0.36639922215717169
x = 0.2 : 0.55242717280199027
x = 0.3 : 0.68930161452702099
x = 0.4 : 0.7573915683125797
x = 0.5 : 0.76439503593693336
x = 0.6 : 0.72910920987269623
x = 0.7 : 0.67006929817816285
x = 0.8 : 0.60112820540304646
