Package Exports

@stdlib/stats-base-dists-cauchy-cdf

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/stats-base-dists-cauchy-cdf) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Cumulative Distribution Function

Cauchy distribution cumulative distribution function.

The cumulative distribution function for a Cauchy random variable is

Cumulative distribution function for a Cauchy distribution.

where x0 is the location parameter and gamma > 0 is the scale parameter.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-cauchy-cdf

Usage

var cdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-cauchy-cdf' );

cdf( x, x0, gamma )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a Cauchy distribution with parameters x0 (location parameter) and gamma > 0 (scale parameter).

var y = cdf( 4.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.852

y = cdf( 1.0, 0.0, 2.0 );
// returns ~0.648

y = cdf( 1.0, 3.0, 2.0 );
// returns 0.25

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( NaN, 0.0, 2.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 1.0, 2.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 1.0, NaN, 3.0 );
// returns NaN

If provided gamma <= 0, the function returns NaN.

var y = cdf( 2.0, 0.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = cdf( 2.0, 0.0, 0.0 );
// returns NaN

cdf.factory( x0, gamma )

Returns a function for evaluating the cumulative distribution function of a Cauchy distribution with parameters x0 (location parameter) and gamma > 0 (scale parameter).

var mycdf = cdf.factory( 10.0, 2.0 );

var y = mycdf( 10.0 );
// returns 0.5

y = mycdf( 12.0 );
// returns 0.75

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var EPS = require( '@stdlib/constants-float64-eps' );
var cdf = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-cauchy-cdf' );

var gamma;
var x0;
var x;
var y;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    x = randu() * 10.0;
    x0 = randu() * 10.0;
    gamma = ( randu()*10.0 ) + EPS;
    y = cdf( x, x0, gamma );
    console.log( 'x: %d, x0: %d, γ: %d, F(x;x0,γ): %d', x.toFixed( 4 ), x0.toFixed( 4 ), gamma.toFixed( 4 ), y.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
