Cauchy Distribution

Distribution generators for the Cauchy Equation:

dcauchy(x, l, s) Returns probability density for value x.

pcauchy(x, l, s) Returns the cumulative probability distribution for value x.

qcauchy(p, l, s) Returns the inverse cumulative probability distribution for probability p.

rcauchy(m, l, s) Returns a vector of m random numbers having the Cauchy distribution.

Arguments:

• x is a scalar or vector of real values.
• l is a real location parameter.
• s is a real scale parameter greater than 0.
• p is a real probability between 0 and 1.
• m is an integer greater than 0.

Notes:

• For definitions of the functions, and information on generating random numbers, see the Density and Distribution definitions.
