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).
