[R] Generic distributions
Is there any class that generalizes distributions? For example, I could say x - generic_distribution(normal, list(mean=1, sigma=0.5)) and then use it like rgeneric_distribution(100, x) to get a sample of 100, or pgeneric_distribution(0.5, x) to get the pdf at (x = 0.5). In the openbugs/winbugs package, that uses a language that looks like R/S, we can do things like x ~ dnorm(mu, tau), forget that x is a normal with mean mu and variance 1/tau, and then treat it generically.

Re: [R] Generic distributions
I think the distr package does this. There are also packages that link to winbugs if that is what you really want to do. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Hello Alberto, hello Greg, in distr you can do: library(distr) N - Norm(mean = 1, sd = 2) p(N)(0.5) r(N)(100) !!! not: p(N, 0.5) or r(N, 100) !!!
