cens.q {gamlss.cens} | R Documentation |
Creates the inverse cumulative density function from a current gamlss.family
distribution suitable for censored or interval response variable data.
This is a dummy function identical to the uncensored one but it is needed for
consistency in centile estimation from censored data.
cens.q(family = "NO", ...)
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 |
This is dummy function, used only to calculate centiles from censored response
variable.
This function is not supposed to be used on its own but is used by the function
gen.cens
.
Returns a modified q family function. The argument of the original function q function are the same.
For an example see gen.cens()
