Get distribution function

.get_distribution_function(distribution, function_prefix)

Arguments

distribution

distribution	list. probability distribution specified in list format e.g. list(name = "gamma", shape = 2, scale = 4). The `distribution` list must contain a 'name' element, this element must be a string and correspond to one of the types of `distributions` supported in the Distributions package. `distribution` must also contain parameters for the specified distribution, in the form '`parameter_name=parameter_value`'.
function_prefix	character. 'd', 'q', 'p' or 'r'. see `stats::Distributions`
