Trigonometric functions

Trigonometric functions

Trigonometric functions are supported for arbitrary uncertain values of different types. Like for elementary operations, a resampling approach is used for the computations.

Syntax

Because elementary operations should work on arbitrary uncertain values, a resampling approach is used to perform the mathematical operations. All mathematical operations thus return a vector containing the results of repeated element-wise operations (where each element is a resampled draw from the furnishing distribution(s) of the uncertain value(s)).

Each trigonometric function comes in two versions.

  • The first syntax allows skipping providing the number of draws, which is set to 10000 by default (e.g. cos(x::AbstractUncertainValue; n::Int = 10000).
  • Using the second syntax, you have to explicitly provide the number of draws (e.g. cos(x::AbstractUncertainValue, n::Int)).

Possible errors

Beware: if the support of the funishing distribution for an uncertain value lies partly outside the domain of the function, you risk encountering errors.
