x |
scaler or vector of values at which the pdf or cdf needs to be computed |
p |
scaler or vector of values at which the value at risk or expected shortfall needs to be computed |
alpha |
the value of the scale parameter, must be in the unit interval, the default is 0.5 |
nu1 |
the value of the first degree of freedom parameter, must be positive, the default is 1 |
nu2 |
the value of the second degree of freedom parameter, must be positive, the default is 1 |
log |
if TRUE then log(pdf) are returned |
log.p |
if TRUE then log(cdf) are returned and quantiles are computed for exp(p) |
lower.tail |
if FALSE then 1-cdf are returned and quantiles are computed for 1-p |
An object of the same length as x
, giving the pdf or cdf values computed at x
or an object of the same length as p
, giving the values at risk or expected shortfall computed at p
