Frechet: The Frechet Distribution

In RTDE: Robust Tail Dependence Estimation

The Frechet Distribution

Description

Density function, distribution function, quantile function, random generation.

Usage

dfrechet(x, shape, xmin, log = FALSE)
pfrechet(q, shape, xmin, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qfrechet(p, shape, xmin, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rfrechet(n, shape, xmin)

dufrechet(x, log = FALSE)
pufrechet(q, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qufrechet(p, lower.tail=TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rufrechet(n)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.
shape	shape parameter.
xmin	lower bound parameter.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X \le x], otherwise, P[X > x].

Details

The Frechet distribution is defined by the following density

f(x) = shape * (x - xmin)^{(-shape-1)} * exp(-(x - xmin)^{(-shape)})

for all x>xmin. The unit Frechet distribution corresponds to xmin=0 and shape=1.

Value

dfrechet, dufrechet give the density, pfrechet, pufrechet give the distribution function, qfrechet, qufrechet give the quantile function, and rfrechet, rufrechet generate random deviates.

The length of the result is determined by n for rfrechet, rufrechet, and is the maximum of the lengths of the numerical parameters for the other functions.

The numerical parameters other than n are recycled to the length of the result. Only the first elements of the logical parameters are used.
