rbs2 {bs}R Documentation

Random number generator from BSD (G2)

Description

Generate random numbers from the BSD with shape parameter alpha and scale parameter beta. rbs2() is based on the relationship between the sinhnormal distribution (SHND) and the BSD; see Rieck (2003).

Usage

rbs2(n, alpha = 1, beta = 1)

Arguments

n Number of observations.
alpha Shape parameter.
beta Scale parameter.

Value

rbs2() gives a vector of n random numbers from the BSD with specific values alpha and beta.
