- 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 ofDistributionCumulative(distr,x)
.
