pdf
Return the PDF of a univariate distribution evaluated at x.
pdf is a wrapper for the univariate cumulative distribution functions
available in the statistics package. See the corresponding functions’ help
to learn the signification of the parameters after x.
y = pdf (name, x, A) returns the CDF for the
one-parameter distribution family specified by name and the
distribution parameter A, evaluated at the values in x.
y = pdf (name, x, A, B) returns the CDF
for the two-parameter distribution family specified by name and the
distribution parameters A and B, evaluated at the values in
x.
y = pdf (name, x, A, B, C) returns
the CDF for the three-parameter distribution family specified by name
and the distribution parameters A, B, and C, evaluated at
the values in x.
name must be a char string of the name or the abbreviation of the desired cumulative distribution function as listed in the followng table. The last column shows the number of required parameters that should be parsed after x to the desired PDF.
