Compute Randomly Drawn Cauchy Density in R Programming – rcauchy() Function

rcauchy() function in R Language is used to compute random cauchy density among a range of inputs.

Syntax: rcauchy(N, scale)

Parameters:
N: Sample Size
scale: Scale to plot graph

Example 1:

# R program to generate
# random cauchy density points

# Setting seed for
# random number generation
set.seed(1000)

# Set sample size
N <- 20

# Calling rcauchy() Function
y <- rcauchy(N, scale = 10)
y

Output:

 [1]   16.654755   -9.459054    3.740548  -14.639724 -193.891140    2.160767

[13]   15.442965   -4.484467   -9.147612    2.330620  431.105051  -22.117519
[19]    2.730892  -37.046773

Example 2:

# R program to generate
# random cauchy density points

# Setting seed for
# random number generation
set.seed(1000)

# Set sample size
N <- 500

# Calling rcauchy() Function
y <- rcauchy(N, scale = 10)

# Plotting graph
plot(y)
