quagld {lmomco} | R Documentation |
This function computes the quantiles of the Generalized Lambda distribution given
parameters (xi, α, kappa, and h)
of the distribution computed by vec2par
.
The quantile function of the distribution is
x(F) = x + a*(F^k-(1-F)^h)
where x(F) is the quantile for nonexceedance probability F, xi is a location parameter, α is a scale parameter, and kappa, and h are shape parameters. Note that in this parameterization the scale term is shown in the numerator and not the denominator. This is done in this package as part of the parallel nature between distributions. The scale parameter is often shown have same units and the location parameter.
quagld(f, gldpara, paracheck)
f |
Nonexceedance probability (0 <= F <= 1). |
gldpara |
The parameters from vec2par or similar. |
paracheck |
A logical switch as to whether the validity of the parameters should be checked. Default is paracheck=TRUE . |
Quantile value for nonexceedance probability F.
