R: Continuous or discrete distributions

distr {sads} | R Documentation

## Continuous or discrete distributions

### Description

Checks if the distribution is continuous or discrete

### Usage

    distr(distribution)

### Arguments

`distribution` | Character. The name of the distribution ("geom" for "fitgeom", "weibull" for "fitweibull", etc.

### Details

Returns whether a given distribution (used for a sad or rad model) is "discrete" or "continuous". The name is compared to a list of known distributions, so distributions not used in the sads package will return "NA" with a warning.

In the package sads up to version 0.2.3, the user was required to explicitly set a distr argument in some calls to `radpred` and `qqsad`. Now this is handled automatically, and attempts to set the "distr" argument explicitly are ignored.
