Distribution of Order Statistics of a Random Vector

sort.rv computes the distribution of the order statistics of a random vector.

# S3 method for rv
sort(x, ...)

Arguments

x: a random vector
...: further arguments passed to sort.rv

Value

An rv object of the same length as x.

Details

The result is the distribution of the order statistic of the given vector x: that is, the sort function is applied to each row of the matrix of simulations of x (sims(x)) and returned then in random vector form.

See sort for further details of the function sort.
