\alias{RtoDPQ.d}
\title{Default procedure to fill slots d,p,q given r for discrete distributions}
\description{
function to do get empirical density, cumulative distribution and quantile function from random numbers}
\usage{
RtoDPQ.d(r, e = getdistrOption("RtoDPQ.e"))
}
\arguments{
  \item{r}{ the random number generator }
  \item{e}{ \eqn{10^e} numbers are generated, a higher number leads to a better result. }
}
\details{
  \code{RtoDPQ.d} generates \eqn{10^e} random numbers, by default \eqn{e =}
  \code{RtoDPQ.e} which are used to produce a density, cdf and
  quantile function.
  Of course, the results are usually not exact as they rely on random numbers.}
\value{ RtoDPQ returns a list of functions.
  \item{dfun }{ density }
  \item{pfun }{ cumulative distribution function }
  \item{qfun }{ quantile function }
}
