pbivgeocure: Joint Cumulative Function for the Basu-Dhar Bivariate...

In BivGeo: Basu-Dhar Bivariate Geometric Distribution

Description

This function computes the joint cumulative function of the Basu-Dhar bivariate geometric distribution assuming arbitrary parameter values in presence of cure fraction.

Usage

pbivgeocure(x, y, theta, phi, lower.tail = TRUE)

Arguments

x	matrix or vector containing the data. If x is a matrix then it is considered as x the first column and y the second column (y argument need be setted to NULL). Additional columns and y are ignored.
y	vector containing the data of y. It is used only if x is also a vector. Vectors x and y should be of equal length.
theta	vector (of length 3) containing values of the parameters θ_1, θ_2 and θ_{3} of the Basu-Dhar bivariate Geometric distribution. The parameters are restricted to 0 < θ_i < 1, i = 1,2 and 0 < θ_{3} ≤ 1.
phi	vector (of length 4) containing values of the cure fraction incidence parameters φ_{11}, φ_{10}, φ_{01} and φ_{00}. The parameters are restricted to φ_{11} + φ_{10} + φ_{01} + φ_{00}= 1.
lower.tail	logical; If TRUE (default), probabilities are P(X ≤ x, Y ≤ y) otherwise P(X > x, Y > y).

Details

The joint cumulative function for a random vector (X, Y) following a Basu-Dhar bivariate geometric distribution in presence of cure fraction could be written as:

P(X ≤ x, Y ≤ y) = 1 - (φ_{11} + φ_{10}) (θ_1 θ_3)^x - (φ_{01} + φ_{00}) - (φ_{11} + φ_{01}) (θ_2 θ_3)^y - (φ_{10} + φ_{00})

+ φ_{11} (θ_{1}^{x} θ_{2}^{y}θ_{3}^{\max(x,y)}) + φ_{10} (θ_1 θ_{3})^x + φ_{01} (θ_2 θ_{3})^y + φ_{00}

and the joint survival function is given by:

P(X > x, Y > y) = φ_{11} (θ_{1}^{x} θ_{2}^{y}θ_{3}^{\max(x,y)}) + φ_{10} (θ_1 θ_{3})^x + φ_{01} (θ_2 θ_{3})^y + φ_{00}

Value

pbivgeocure gives the values of the cumulative function in presence of cure fraction.

Invalid arguments will return an error message.
