The Uniform Distribution

Usage

dunif(x, min=0, max=1)
punif(q, min=0, max=1)
qunif(p, min=0, max=1)
runif(n, min=0, max=1)

Arguments

x,q vector of quantiles.
p vector of probabilities.
n number of observations to generate.
min,max lower and upper limits of the distribution.

Description

These functions provide information about the uniform distribution on the interval from min to max. dunif gives the density, punif gives the distribution function qunif gives the quantile function and runif generates random deviates.

If min or max are not specified they assume the default values of 0 and 1 respectively.

The uniform distribution has density

f(x) = 1/(max-min)

for min <= x <= max.
