Create UNU.RAN object for a Variance Gamma distribution
with shape parameter lambda
, shape parameter
alpha
, asymmetry (shape) parameter beta
, and
location parameter mu
.
[Distribution] – Variance Gamma.
udvg(lambda, alpha, beta, mu, lb=-Inf, ub=Inf)
lambda |
shape parameter (must be strictly positive). |
alpha |
shape parameter (must be strictly larger than
absolute value of |
beta |
asymmetry (shape) parameter. |
mu |
location parameter. |
lb |
lower bound of (truncated) distribution. |
ub |
upper bound of (truncated) distribution. |
The variance gamma distribution with parameters lambda, alpha, beta, and mu has density
f(x) = kappa * |x-mu|^(lambda-1/2) * exp(beta*(x-mu)) * K_{lambda-1/2}(alpha * |x-mu|)
where the normalization constant is given by
kappa = (alpha^2 - beta^2)^lambda / (sqrt(pi) * (2*alpha)^(lambda-1/2) * Gamma(lambda))
K_(lambda)(t) is the modified Bessel function of the third kind with index lambda. Gamma(t) is the Gamma function.
Notice that alpha > |beta| and lambda > 0.
The domain of the distribution can be truncated to the
interval (lb
,ub
).
An object of class "unuran.cont"
.
For lambda <= 0.5, the density has a pole at mu.
