Evaluate PDF

Name

UxHwDoubleEvaluatePDF, UxHwFloatEvaluatePDF — Return the value of the PDF of a distribution at a given domain value.

Synopsis

#include <uxhw.h>

double	UxHwDoubleEvaluatePDF(double value, double domainValue);
float	UxHwFloatEvaluatePDF(float value, float domainValue);

Description

The UxHwDoubleEvaluatePDF() function returns the value of the PDF of the distribution associated with value at the domain value domainValue, on architectures that associate distributional information with floating-point values.

Parameters

• value — The distributional value to evaluate the PDF of.
• domainValue — The domain value at which to evaluate the PDF.

Return Values

The UxHwDoubleEvaluatePDF() function returns the floating-point value of the PDF of the the distribution associated with value at the domain value domainValue. If value has no distribution associated with it, the function returns positive infinity if value = domainValue and zero otherwise.

✏️   Examples

#include <stdio.h>
#include <uxhw.h>

int
main(void)
{
	double	domainValue = 1.0;

	double	value = UxHwDoubleUniformDist(0.0, 2.0);
	double	pdfValue = UxHwDoubleEvaluatePDF(value, domainValue);

	printf("The value of the PDF of `value` at %lf is %lf.\n", domainValue, pdfValue);

	return 0;
