cens.q {gamlss.cens}R Documentation

Inverse cumulative probability density function to help with censored response

Description

Creates the inverse cumulative density function from a current GAMLSS family distribution suitable for censored data. This is a dummy function identical to the unsensored one needed for centile estimation from censored data.

Usage

cens.q(family = "NO", ...)

Arguments

family a gamlss.family object, which is used to define the distribution and the link functions of the various parameters. The distribution families supported by gamlss() can be found in gamlss.family.
... for extra arguments

Details

This is dummy function only used to calculate centiles from censored response variable. This function is not supposed to be used on it own but is used in gen.cens.

Value

Returns a modified q family function. The argument of the original function q function are the same.

Note

For an example see gen.cens()
