- _A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:
-
- x,q : vector of quantiles.
-
- p : vector of probabilities.
-
- n : number of observations to generate.
-
- rate : vector of rates.
-
- _V_a_l_u_e:
-
- These functions provide information about the exponen-
- tial distribution with rate rate (i.e. mean 1/rate).
- dexp gives the density, pexp gives the distribution
- function qexp gives the quantile function and rexp gen-
- erates random deviates.
-
- The exponential distribution with rate lambda has den-
- sity
-
- f(x) = lambda e^-(lambda x)
-
- for x >= 0.

-
- dexp(1) - exp(-1) #-> 0
- r <- rexp(100)
- all(abs(1 - dexp(1, r) / (r*exp(-r))) < 1e-14)
