udgumbel: UNU.RAN object for Gumbel distribution

In Runuran: R Interface to the 'UNU.RAN' Random Variate Generators

UNU.RAN object for Gumbel distribution

Description

Create UNU.RAN object for a Gumbel (Extreme value type I) distribution location parameter location and scale parameter scale.

[Distribution] – Gumbel (Extreme value type I).

Usage

udgumbel(location=0, scale=1, lb=-Inf, ub=Inf)

Arguments

location	location parameter.
scale	(strictly positive) scale parameter.
lb	lower bound of (truncated) distribution.
ub	upper bound of (truncated) distribution.

Details

The Gumbel distribution function with location l and scale s is

F(x) = \exp(-\exp(-\frac{x-l}{s}))

for all x.

The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the interval (lb,ub).

Value

An object of class "unuran.cont".

Examples

## Create distribution object for Gumbel distribution
distr <- udgumbel()
## Generate generator object; use method PINV (inversion)
gen <- pinvd.new(distr)
## Draw a sample of size 100
x <- ur(gen,100)
