skewnorm2: Reparameterised skew normal distribution

In RTMBdist: Distributions Compatible with Automatic Differentiation by 'RTMB'

Reparameterised skew normal distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the skew normal distribution reparameterised in terms of mean, standard deviation and skew magnitude

Usage

dskewnorm2(x, mean = 0, sd = 1, alpha = 0, log = FALSE)

pskewnorm2(q, mean = 0, sd = 1, alpha = 0, ...)

qskewnorm2(p, mean = 0, sd = 1, alpha = 0, ...)

rskewnorm2(n, mean = 0, sd = 1, alpha = 0)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles
mean	mean parameter
sd	standard deviation, must be positive.
alpha	skewness parameter, +/- Inf is allowed.
log	logical; if TRUE, probabilities/ densities p are returned as \log(p).
...	additional parameters to be passed to the sn package functions for pskewnorm and qskewnorm.
p	vector of probabilities
n	number of random values to return

Details

This implementation of dskewnorm2 allows for automatic differentiation with RTMB while the other functions are imported from the sn package.

Value

dskewnorm2 gives the density, pskewnorm2 gives the distribution function, qskewnorm2 gives the quantile function, and rskewnorm2 generates random deviates.

Examples

# alpha is skew parameter
x <- rskewnorm2(1, alpha = 1)
d <- dskewnorm2(x, alpha = 1)
p <- pskewnorm2(x, alpha = 1)
q <- qskewnorm2(p, alpha = 1)
