In VGAM: Vector Generalized Linear and Additive Models

The Log-Gamma Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the log-gamma distribution with location parameter location, scale parameter scale and shape parameter k.

Usage

dlgamma(x, location = 0, scale = 1, shape = 1, log = FALSE)
plgamma(q, location = 0, scale = 1, shape = 1,
        lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qlgamma(p, location = 0, scale = 1, shape = 1,
        lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rlgamma(n, location = 0, scale = 1, shape = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations. Same as runif.
location	the location parameter a.
scale	the (positive) scale parameter b.
shape	the (positive) shape parameter k.
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 lgamma1, the VGAM family function for estimating the one parameter standard log-gamma distribution by maximum likelihood estimation, for formulae and other details. Apart from n, all the above arguments may be vectors and are recyled to the appropriate length if necessary.

Value

dlgamma gives the density, plgamma gives the distribution function, qlgamma gives the quantile function, and rlgamma generates random deviates.

Note

The VGAM family function lgamma3 is for the three parameter (nonstandard) log-gamma distribution.

## Not run:  loc <- 1; Scale <- 1.5; shape <- 1.4

     col = "blue", ylim = 0:1,
     main = "Blue is density, orange is the CDF",
     sub = "Red are 5,10,...,95 percentiles", las = 1, ylab = "")
abline(h = 0, col = "blue", lty = 2)
lines(qlgamma(seq(0.05, 0.95, by = 0.05), loc = loc, Scale, sh = shape),
      dlgamma(qlgamma(seq(0.05, 0.95, by = 0.05), loc = loc, sc = Scale,
                      shape = shape),
    loc = loc, Scale, shape = shape), col = "red", lty = 3, type = "h")
