integrate(dnorm, -1.96, 1.96, mean=2, sd=1) Read the help for integrate! It tells you that the integrate function has a "..." argument which consists of "additional arguments to be passed to f". cheers, Rolf Turner On 24/07/12 14:23, FJ M wrote: I'm trying to provide different

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
