Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Description

EGIG(lambda, chi, psi, k = 1)
ElogGIG(lambda, chi, psi)
rGIG(n, lambda, chi, psi, envplot = FALSE, messages = FALSE)

Arguments

chi

numeric, chi parameter.

envplot

logical, whether plot of rejection envelope should be created.

k

integer, order of moments.

lambda

numeric, lambda parameter.

messages

logical, whether a message about rejection rate should be returned.

n

integer, count of random variates.

psi

numeric, psi parameter.

Details

Normal variance mixtures are frequently obtained by perturbing the variance component of a normal distribution; here this is done by multiplying the square root of a mixing variable assumed to have a GIG distribution depending upon three parameters (lambda, chi, psi). See p.77 in QRM.
Normal mean-variance mixtures are created from normal variance mixtures by applying another perturbation of the same mixing variable to the mean component of a normal distribution. These perturbations create Generalized Hyperbolic Distributions. See pp. 78–81 in QRM. A description of the GIG is given on page 497 in QRM Book.

Value

(log) mean of distribution or vector random variates in case of rgig().
