rald(n, location=0, scale=1, p=0.5)
n |
Number of random values to be generated. |
location |
Location parameter. |
scale |
Scale parameter. |
p |
Skewness parameter. |
This generic function generates a random variable from an asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD). The ALD has the following probability density function:
ALD_p(x ; \mu, \sigma) = \frac{p(1-p)}{\sigma}\exp\Big(-\frac{(x-\mu)[p-I(x\le\mu)]}{\sigma}\Big),
where 0 < p < 1
is the skew parameter, \sigma > 0
is the scale parameter, -\infty < \mu < \infty
is the location parameter, and I(\cdot)
is the indication function. The range of x
is (-\infty, \infty)
.
rald
gives out a vector of random numbers generated by
the asymmetric Laplace distribution.
