User Guide

You can define random variables by specifying a distribution in a call to the
RandomVariable command.

Find the probability distribution function for X. (For information on statistics
computations, see Statistical Computations (page 175)).

represents the Dirac delta function. For more information, refer to the
?Dirac help page.
Adding Custom Distributions
To add a new distribution, specify a probability distribution in a call to the
Distribution command.
>
To construct a piecewise-continuous function in 1-D Math, use the piecewise
command, for example, t -> piecewise(t < 0, 0, t < 3, 1/3, 0).
Define a new random variable with this distribution.
