LOGPDF Function



Computes the logarithm of a probability density (mass) function
Category: Probability
Alias: LOGPMF
See: PDF Function

Syntax
Arguments

Syntax

LOGPDF('dist',quantile,parm-1,...,parm-k)


Arguments

'dist'

is a character string that identifies the distribution. Valid distributions are as follows:

Distribution Argument
Bernoulli 'BERNOULLI'
Beta 'BETA'
Binomial 'BINOMIAL'
Cauchy 'CAUCHY'
Chi-Square 'CHISQUARE'
Exponential 'EXPONENTIAL'
F 'F'
Gamma 'GAMMA'
Geometric 'GEOMETRIC'
Hypergeometric 'HYPERGEOMETRIC'
Laplace 'LAPLACE'
Logistic 'LOGISTIC'
Lognormal 'LOGNORMAL'
Negative binomial 'NEGBINOMIAL'
Normal 'NORMAL'|'GAUSS'
Normal mixture 'NORMALMIX'
Pareto 'PARETO'
Poisson 'POISSON'
T 'T'
Uniform 'UNIFORM'
Wald (inverse Gaussian) 'WALD'|'IGAUSS'
Weibull 'WEIBULL'

Note:   Except for T, F, and NORMALMIX, you can minimally identify any distribution by its first four characters.  [cautionend]

quantile

is a numeric random variable.

parm-1,...,parm-k

are optional shape, location, or scale parameters appropriate for the specific distribution.

The LOGPDF function computes the logarithm of the probability density (mass) function from various continuous and discrete distributions. For more information, see the PDF Function.
