Function DistributionDensity(distribution, x)

DistributionDensity

The function DistributionDensity computes the density of a given distribution.

DistributionDensity(
           distribution,            ! (input) distribution
           x                        ! (input) numerical expression
           )

Arguments

distribution

An expression representing any distribution (such as Normal(0,1)).

x

A scalar numerical expression.

Return Value

The function DistributionDensity(distribution,\(x\)), for \(x\in(-\infty,\infty)\) returns the expected density around \(x\) of sample points from distribution. It is the derivative of DistributionCumulative(distr,x).
