BEASTObject that performs calculations based on the State.
A class that describes a parametric distribution, that is, a distribution that takes some parameters/valuables as inputs and can produce (cumulative) densities and inverse cumulative densities.
Approximates parametric distribution by piecewise linear approximation.

| type: beast.base.inference.distribution.ParametricDistribution |
| Underlying parametric distribution that is approximated. |
| Required input |
| type: java.lang.Integer |
| number of bins used to approximate the distribution piecewise linearly. (default 100) |
| Optional input. Default: 100 |
| type: java.lang.Double |
| fraction of bins at end of distribution to be cut off -- should be between 0 and 1 |
| Optional input. Default: 0.1 |
| type: java.lang.Boolean |
| approximate values below for quantiles close to 0 and 1 with rate at limit/bins and (1-limit/bins) respectively.If false, for quantiles below limit/bins and above (1-limit/bins) the inverseCumulativeProbability methods of the underlying parametric distribution is called(which is slower, but should not happen very often). |
| Optional input. Default: true |
| type: java.lang.Double |
| offset of origin (defaults to 0) |
| Optional input. Default: 0.0 |
