Hello, I'm taking samples from certain distributions and drawing a density
distribution over the histogram of the samples
It works fine for the chi-square and for the normal, but not for the cauchy. Any
idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
Not doing anything wrong, really. But do check
range(x)
Should be quite a range; that's what 'heavy tails' means.
To see the fit, try this:
hist(x, freq=FALSE, breaks=5000, xlim=c(-6,6))
curve(dcauchy(x), col = 2, add = TRUE)

x<- rchisq(10000, df = 4)
hist(x, freq = FALSE, breaks=100)
curve(dchisq(x, df = 4), col = 2, add = TRUE)
x<- rnorm(10000)
hist(x, freq = FALSE, breaks=100)
curve(dnorm(x), col = 2, add = TRUE)
x<- rcauchy(10000)
hist(x, freq = FALSE, breaks=100)
curve(dcauchy(x), col = 2, add = TRUE)
