Max Value of Several Distributions

For a collection of distributions, this function provides the distribution of the maximum value from independent draws of each component distribution.

Usage

maximise(..., draws = 1)

maximize(..., draws = 1)

Arguments

...

Distribution objects, or lists of distributions.

draws

Number of draws from each distribution considered in the maximum. Either a single numeric applying to all distributions in ..., or a vector matching the number of distributions in ....

Value

A distribution of class "max".

Details

To use precise language, if X1, ..., Xp are p independent random variables corresponding to the distributions in ..., then the distribution returned is of max(X1, ..., Xp).
