The “rcauchy” Function in R

• Package: Base R (stats package)

• Purpose: To generate random samples from a Cauchy distribution.

• General Class: Probability Distribution

• Required Argument(s):

• n: The number of random samples to generate.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• location: The location parameter (default is 0).

• scale: The scale parameter (default is 1).

• Example:

• # Example usage
  # Generate 100 random samples from a Cauchy distribution
  cauchy_samples <- rcauchy(100)
  
  # Print the generated samples
  print(cauchy_samples)

• In this example, the rcauchy function is used to generate 100 random samples from a Cauchy distribution. The resulting samples are stored in the cauchy_samples variable and printed to the console.
