fun.simu.bimodal: Simulate a mixture of two generalised lambda distributions.

In GLDEX: Fitting Single and Mixture of Generalised Lambda Distributions

Simulate a mixture of two generalised lambda distributions.

Description

This function allows the user to simulate observations from a mixture of two generalised lambda distributions. It can be very useful for sensitivity analysis.

Usage

fun.simu.bimodal(result1, result2, prop1, prop2, len = 1000, 
no.test = 1000, param1, param2)

Arguments

result1	A vector comprising four values for the first generalised lambda distribution.
result2	A vector comprising four values for the second generalised lambda distribution.
prop1	Proportion of the first generalised lambda distribution
prop2	1-prop1, this can be left unspecified.
len	Length of object for each simulation run.
no.test	Number of simulation run.
param1	This can be "rs" or "fmkl", specifying the type of the first generalised lambda distribution.
param2	This can be "rs" or "fmkl", specifying the type of the second generalised lambda distribution.

Details

The length of object in len means how many observations should be generated in each simulation run, with the number of simulation runs governed by no.test.

Value

A list with length equal to the number of simulation runs. Each subset of the list has random observations equal to the the number specified in len.

Examples

# Generate random observations from FMKL generalised lambda distributions with 
# parameters (1,2,3,4) and (4,3,2,1) with 50% of data from each distribution.
junk<-fun.simu.bimodal(c(1,2,3,4),c(4,3,2,1),prop1=0.5,param1="fmkl",
param2="fmkl")

# Calculate the maximum number from each simulation run
sapply(junk,max)

# Calculate the median from each simulation run
sapply(junk,median)
