Chapter 17. Probability Distributions
Many statistical tests work by calculating a test statistic
and then comparing the test statistic to a value from a theoretical
distribution. R provides a set of functions to calculate densities,
distributions, and quantiles for common statistical distributions. You can
also generate random values from these distributions. This section describes
how to use these functions (using the normal distribution as an example) and
then lists most functions included with the R stats library.
