ggamma: Generalized gamma distribution.

In HelpersMG: Tools for Environmental Analyses, Ecotoxicology and Various R Functions

Generalized gamma distribution.

Description

Generalized gamma distribution

Usage

dggamma(x, theta, kappa, delta, log = FALSE)

pggamma(q, theta, kappa, delta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qggamma(p, theta, kappa, delta, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rggamma(n, theta, kappa, delta)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
theta	scale parameter.
kappa	shape parameter.
delta	shape parameter.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x] otherwise, P[X > x].
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations.

Details

pggamma, qggamma, dggamma, and rggamma are used to model the generalized gamma distribution.

The code is modified from https://rpubs.com/FJRubio/GG.

Value

dggamma gives the density, pggamma gives the distribution function, qggamma gives the quantile function, and rggamma generates random deviates.

Functions

• dggamma(): Density of the generalized gamma.

• pggamma(): Distribution function of the generalized gamma.

• qggamma(): Quantile of the generalized gamma.

• rggamma(): Random of the generalized gamma.

More details here

The generalized gamma is described here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_gamma_distribution.
With a being theta, b being kappa, and p being delta.
theta, kappa and delta must be all > 0.
