The toolbox was designed for two principle tasks: … … 24 24 We make the following assumptions about data: 25 25 <ul> 26 <li >an individual data record is stored in a vector, \c vec \c dt, </li>26 <li >an individual data record is stored in a vector, \c vec \c dt, </li> 27 27 <li> a set of data records is stored in a matrix,\c mat \c D, where each column represent one individual data record </li> 28 28 </ul> … … 57 57 <ul> 58 58 <li> \c mpdf a pdf conditioned on another symbolic variable,</li> 59 < dt> \c RV a symbolic variable on which pdfs are defined.</li>59 <li> \c RV a symbolic variable on which pdfs are defined.</li> 60 60 </ul> 61 61 The former class is an extension of mpdf that allows conditioning on a symbolic variable. Hence, when numerical results - such as samples - are required, numericla values of the condition must be provided. The names of methods of the \c epdf are used extended by suffix \c cond, i.e. \c samplecond(), \c evallogcond(), where \c cond precedes matrix estension, i.e. \c samplecond_m() and \c evallogcond_m().
