10.1 Suffix Marks Type of Function
The suffix is determined by the type of function according to the following table.
| function | outcome | suffix |
|---|---|---|
| log probability mass function | discrete | _lpmf |
| log probability density function | continuous | _lpdf |
| log cumulative distribution function | any | _lcdf |
| log complementary cumulative distribution function | any | _lccdf |
| random number generator | any | _rng |
For example, normal_lpdf is the log of the normal probability
density function (pdf) and bernoulli_lpmf is the log of the
bernoulli probability mass function (pmf). The log of the
corresponding cumulative distribution functions (cdf) use the same
suffix, normal_lcdf and bernoulli_lcdf.
