law0026.Gumbel: The Gumbel Distribution

In PoweR: Computation of Power and Level Tables for Hypothesis Tests

Description

Random generation for the Gumbel distribution with parameters mu and sigma.

This generator is called by function gensample to create random variables based on its parameters.

Details

If mu or sigma are not specified, they assume the default values of 1.

The Gumbel distribution with parameters mu = μ and sigma = σ has density:

f(x) = 1/σ e^[ -e^(-(x - μ)/σ) - (x - μ)/σ ]
