pdist

Calculates the probability of exceedance for a given distribution, threshold and distribution parameters.

pdist(pname, th, args)

Arguments

pname

Distribution to be used which is embedded through the quote command. This can comprise an existing function from the stats package e.g. pnorm. Alternatively this can be user defined.

th

Threshold for calculating the \[Pr(X > th)\]

args

Arguments that correspond to the specified distribution (but excluding the threshold.

Examples

pname <- quote({ pnorm(q, mean, sd, lower.tail = FALSE) })
pdist(pname = pname, th = 3, args = list(mean = 2, sd = 1))
