This is an R package to handle truncated members from the exponential family.
TruncExpFam is available on CRAN and can be installed by running the following in an interactive R session:
install.packages("TruncExpFam")The development version of the package contains features and bug fixes
that are yet to be published. It is, however, much less stable than the
CRAN version. You can install the development version of TruncExpFam by
running the following command in R (requires the remotes package to be
installed beforehand):
remotes::install_github("ocbe-uio/TruncExpFam")If you want to browse the vignette, add build_vignettes = TRUE to your install_github() command.
Further details on installing TruncExpFam can be found on the Wiki.
Once installed, TruncExpFam can be loaded with library(TruncExpFam). A list of
available functions can be printed with ls("package:TruncExpFam").
For more information about the package (e.g. supported distributions),
run ?TruncExpFam after loading the package in your R session.
Are you familiar with the stats package and its r* and d* functions
such as rnorm() and dpois()? If so, you will feel right at home with
TruncExpFam, which uses the rtrunc() function to generate random
numbers and the dtrunc() function to generate probability densities.
