cardUC: Cardioid Distribution

In VGAM: Vector Generalized Linear and Additive Models

Cardioid Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the cardioid distribution.

Usage

dcard(x, mu, rho, log = FALSE)
pcard(q, mu, rho, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qcard(p, mu, rho, tolerance = 1e-07, maxits = 500,
      lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rcard(n, mu, rho, ...)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations. Same as in runif.
mu, rho	See cardioid for more information.
tolerance, maxits, ...	The first two are control parameters for the algorithm used to solve for the roots of a nonlinear system of equations; tolerance controls for the accuracy and maxits is the maximum number of iterations. rcard calls qcard so the ... can be used to vary the two arguments.
log	Logical. If log = TRUE then the logarithm of the density is returned.
lower.tail, log.p	Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.

Details

See cardioid, the VGAM family function for estimating the two parameters by maximum likelihood estimation, for the formula of the probability density function and other details.

Value

dcard gives the density, pcard gives the distribution function, qcard gives the quantile function, and rcard generates random deviates.

Note

Convergence problems might occur with rcard.

Examples

## Not run: 
mu <- 4; rho <- 0.4; x <- seq(0, 2*pi, len = 501)
plot(x, dcard(x, mu, rho), type = "l", las = 1, ylim = c(0, 1),
     ylab = paste("[dp]card(mu=", mu, ", rho=", rho, ")"),
     main = "Blue is density, orange is the CDF", col = "blue",
     sub = "Purple lines are the 10,20,...,90 percentiles")
lines(x, pcard(x, mu, rho), col = "orange")

probs <- seq(0.1, 0.9, by = 0.1)
Q <- qcard(probs, mu, rho)
lines(Q, dcard(Q, mu, rho), col = "purple", lty = 3, type = "h")
lines(Q, pcard(Q, mu, rho), col = "purple", lty = 3, type = "h")
abline(h = c(0,probs, 1), v = c(0, 2*pi), col = "purple", lty = 3)
max(abs(pcard(Q, mu, rho) - probs))  # Should be 0
