R provides functions for many common probability distributions, such as normal, binomial,
Poisson, exponential, etc. These functions allow you to generate random numbers from specific
distributions and compute probabilities for various events. For continuous distributions, you can
use the probability density functions (PDF) to get the probability density at a specific point and
cumulative distribution functions (CDF) to get the cumulative probability up to a certain value. R
allows you to generate random samples from different probability distributions, which is useful
for simulating data or conducting Monte Carlo simulations. R provides functions for calculating
probabilities and performing basic probability operations, such as union, intersection,
complement, etc. There are many other distributions and specialized functions provided by
various packages, such as "stats," "actuar," "distr," "distrEx," and more. When working with
specific distributions or conducting advanced statistical analysis, it's essential to refer to the R
documentation and relevant package documentation for detailed information and examples.
