Description copied from interface: IDistribution

Gets the probability density function (pdf) for this distribution evaluated at point x.
The Probability Density Function (PDF) describes the probability that a given value x will occur.

Specified by:

ProbabilityDensityFunction in interface IDistribution

Parameters:

x - A single point in the distribution range.

Returns:

The probability of x occurring in the current distribution.

LogProbabilityDensityFunction

public double LogProbabilityDensityFunction(double x)

Description copied from interface: IDistribution

Gets the log-probability density function (pdf) for this distribution evaluated at point x.
The Probability Density Function (PDF) describes the probability that a given value x will occur.

Specified by:

LogProbabilityDensityFunction in interface IDistribution

Parameters:

x - A single point in the distribution range.

Returns:

The probability of x occurring in the current distribution.
