trun.q {gamlss.tr}R Documentation

Truncated Inverse Cumulative Density Function of a gamlss.family Distribution

Description

Creates a function to produce the inverse of a truncated cumulative density function generated from a current GAMLSS family distribution

Usage

trun.q(par, family = "NO", type = c("left", "right", "both"), ...)

Arguments

par a vector with one (for left or right truncation) or two elements for both
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. Functions such as BI() (binomial) produce a family object.
type whether left, right or in both sides truncation is required, (left is the default)
... for extra arguments

Value

Returns a q family function
