The Exponential Distribution

Syntax

dexp(x, rate=1)
pexp(q, rate=1)
qexp(p, rate=1)
rexp(n, rate=1)

Arguments

x,q vector of quantiles.
p vector of probabilities.
n number of observations to generate.
rate vector of rates.

Description

These functions provide information about the exponential distribution with mean 1/rate. dexp gives the density, pexp gives the distribution function qexp gives the quantile function and rexp generates random deviates.

The exponential distribution with mean mu has density
