Given
p <- function(x) {
if (x == -4) {
0.1
} else if (x == -1) {
0.2
} else if (x == 1) {
0.6
} else if (x == 2) {
0.1
} else {
0
}
}
How would I plot the PMF and CDF. No distribution is specified so I cant use the build in commands. What would be the best way to plot these
If piece-wise CDF is needed, you can try define cdf
function
cdf <- function(x) {
ifelse(
x <= -4,
0,
ifelse(
x <= -1,
0.1,
ifelse(
x <= 1,
0.3,
ifelse(
x < 2,
0.9,
1
)
)
)
)
}
and then run
curve(cdf, -5, 5, n = 1e3 + 1)
Try this for PMF
df <- data.frame(x = c(-4, -1, 1, 2), p = c(.1, .2, .6, .1))
plot(df, type = "l")
points(df)
For CDF, you can try a similar one
plot(df_cdf <- transform(df, p = cumsum(p)), type = "l")
points(df_cdf)
