Hello,

Maybe the following could help:

  > f <- function(x) dnorm(x, mean=2, sd=1)
  > integrate(f, -1.96, 1.96)
0.4840091 with absolute error < 1.4e-12

Or you could note the '...' argument indicated on the help page:

  integrate(dnorm, lower = -1.96, upper = 1.96,
            mean = 2, sd = 1)

I'm trying to provide different parameters to the integrate function for 
various probability functions. I'm using dnorm as the simplest example here. 
For instance integrate(dnorm, -1.96, 1.96) produces the correct answer for a 
normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. I've tried two ways 
to use mean=2.0 and standard deviation 1, but with no luck. The examples follow.


integrate(dnorm, -1.96, 1.96)
0.9500042 with absolute error < 1e-11
mean = 2.0
sd = 1.0
integrate(dnorm, -1.96, 1.96)
0.9500042 with absolute error < 1e-11
integrate(dnorm(mean=2.0,sd=1.0), -1.96, 1.96)
Error in .Internal(dnorm(x, mean, sd, log)) : 'x' is missing
Calls: integrate -> match.fun -> dnorm
Execution halted

How do I change the built in mean=0 and standard deviation=1 for dnorm using 
integrate?

Thanks,
