extend.ranvar

extend.ranvar, function

def table extend.ranvar(r: ranvar): table
def table extend.ranvar(r: ranvar, gap: number): table
def table extend.ranvar(r: ranvar, gap: number, multiplier: number): table
def table extend.ranvar(r: ranvar, gap: number, multiplier: number, reach: number): table

Creates a table of contiguous buckets for the ranvar r, with Min and Max boundaries for each bucket.

• r: input distribution.
• gap: forces initial buckets [0,0] and [1,gap].
• multiplier: bucket size after gap.
• reach: ensures the last bucket reaches at least this value.

Examples

r = poisson(2)

table G max 1000 = extend.ranvar(r)
G.P = int(r, G.Min, G.Max)

show table "Buckets" with
  G.Min
  G.Max
  G.P as "Probability"

This produces the following table:

Remarks

The optional overloads are useful to align buckets with reorder gaps, lot-size constraints, or MOQ targets. Tables produced by extend.ranvar default to a maximum size of 100m lines unless an explicit max constraint is provided.
