Arguments

x

(rvar) An rvar.

...

Further arguments passed to underlying functions (e.g., base::mean() or base::median()), such as na.rm.

Value

A numeric or logical vector with the same dimensions as the given random variable, where each entry in the vector is the mean, median, or variance of the corresponding entry in x.

Details

Summaries include expectations (E() or mean()), probabilities (Pr()), medians (median()), spread (var(), variance(), sd(), mad()), sums and products (sum(), prod()), extrema and ranges (min(), max(), range()), logical summaries (all(), any()), and special value predicates (is.finite(), is.infinite(), is.nan(), is.na()).

Unless otherwise stated, these functions return a numeric array with the same shape (same dimensions) as the input rvar, x.

range(x) returns an array with dimensions c(2, dim(x)), where the last dimension contains the minimum and maximum values.

is.infinite(x), is.nan(x), and is.na(x) return logical arrays, where each element is TRUE if any draws in its corresponding element in x match the predicate. Each elements in the result of is.finite(x) is TRUE if all draws in the corresponding element in x are finite.

Both E(), mean(), and Pr() return the means of each element in the input. Pr() additionally checks that the provided rvar is a logical variable (hence, taking its expectation results in a probability).

For consistency, E() and Pr() are also defined for base arrays so that they can be used as summary functions in summarise_draws().
