Cauchy distribution limits
I have question (curiosity) regarding returned values of R's qcauchy
() function,
for nonexceedance probability (F). It seems the ideal returned range
of cauchy distribution should be [-Inf,Inf].
For F=0
> qcauchy(0)
[1] -Inf
but for F=1
> qcauchy(1)
[1] 8.16562e+15
It seems to me that the proper return value should be Inf???
For default (location=0,scale=1) quantile function of cau...
