The current distribution function naming convention inherited from S (d*, p*, q*, r* for pdf/pmf, cdf, quantile, & random numbers) is inadequate for noncentral distributions, where there is frequently a need to solve the equation p*(...)=p for the noncentrality parameter instead of the quantile. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
