rBeta.4P: Random Number Generation under the Four-Parameter Beta...

In betafunctions: Functions for Working with Two- And Four-Parameter Beta Probability Distributions and Psychometric Analysis of Classifications

Random Number Generation under the Four-Parameter Beta Probability Density Distribution.

Description

Function for generating random numbers from a specified Four-Parameter Beta Distribution.

Usage

rBeta.4P(n, l, u, alpha, beta)

Arguments

n	Number of draws.
l	The first (lower) location parameter.
u	The second (upper) location parameter.
alpha	The alpha (first) shape parameter.
beta	The beta (second) shape parameter.

Value

A vector with length n of random values drawn from the Four-Parameter Beta Distribution.

Examples

# Assume some variable follows a four-parameter Beta distribution with
# location parameters l = 0.25 and u = 0.75, and shape parameters alpha = 5
# and beta = 3. To draw a random value from this distribution using
# rBeta.4P():
rBeta.4P(n = 1, l = 0.25, u = 0.75, alpha = 5, beta = 3)
