These functions provide the ability for generating probability density values, cumulative probability density values and moments about zero values for the Uniform Distribution bounded between [0,1].

Usage

dUNI(p)

Arguments

p

vector of probabilities.

Value

The output of dUNI gives a list format consisting

pdf probability density values in vector form.

mean mean of unit bounded uniform distribution.

var variance of unit bounded uniform distribution.

Details

Setting \(a=0\) and \(b=1\) in the Uniform Distribution a unit bounded Uniform Distribution can be obtained. The probability density function and cumulative density function of a unit bounded Uniform Distribution with random variable P are given by

$$g_{P}(p) = 1$$ \(0 \le p \le 1\) $$G_{P}(p) = p$$ \(0 \le p \le 1\)

The mean and the variance are denoted as $$E[P]= \frac{1}{a+b}= 0.5$$ $$var[P]= \frac{(b-a)^2}{12}= 0.0833$$

Moments about zero is denoted as $$E[P^r]= \frac{e^{rb}-e^{ra}}{r(b-a)}= \frac{e^r-1}{r} $$ \(r = 1,2,3,...\)

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
