dig.PVII {ig}R Documentation

Probability density function (pdf) of the inverse Gaussian type distribution generated from the Pearson type VII kernel

Description

Compute the probabilility density function of inverse Gaussian distribution generated from the the Pearson type VII kernel with parameters q and r.

Usage

dig.PVII(t, mu, lambda, parameters = c(1, 1), log = FALSE)

Arguments

t Vector of observations.
mu Mean.
lambda Scale parameter.
parameters Parameters of the Kotz distribution.
log Logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Details

The IGTD has pdf given by

f_T(t)=f_Z(a_{t}) sqrt{λ}/sqrt{t^{3}},

with t > 0, μ>0 and λ>0, where f_Z(cdot)= c,g(cdot) is the pdf of the Pearson VII distribution a_{t} = a_{t}(μ,λ) = sqrt{λ/μ} [sqrt{t/μ} - sqrt{μ/t}].

Value

dig.PVII() gives the pdf of an IGTD generated from the Pearson VII kernel.
