Frechet Distribution Class
Description
Mathematical and statistical functions for the Frechet distribution, which
is commonly used as a special case of the Generalised Extreme Value distribution.
Details
The Frechet distribution parameterised with shape, α, scale, β, and minimum, γ, is defined by the pdf,
f(x) = (α/β)((x-γ)/β)^{-1-α}exp(-(x-γ)/β)^{-α}
for α, β ε R^+ and γ ε R.
Value
Returns an R6 object inheriting from class SDistribution.
Distribution support
The distribution is supported on x > γ.
Default Parameterisation
Frec(shape = 1, scale = 1, minimum = 0)
Omitted Methods
N/A
Also known as
Also known as the Inverse Weibull distribution.

Method new()
Creates a new instance of this R6 class.
Usage
Frechet$new(shape = NULL, scale = NULL, minimum = NULL, decorators = NULL)
Arguments
shape(numeric(1))
Shape parameter, defined on the positive Reals.
scale(numeric(1))
Scale parameter, defined on the positive Reals.
minimum(numeric(1))
Minimum of the distribution, defined on the Reals.
decorators(character())
Decorators to add to the distribution during construction.
Method mean()
The arithmetic mean of a (discrete) probability distribution X is the expectation
E_X(X) = ∑ p_X(x)*x
with an integration analogue for continuous distributions.
Usage
Frechet$mean(...)
Arguments
...Unused.
Method mode()
The mode of a probability distribution is the point at which the pdf is
a local maximum, a distribution can be unimodal (one maximum) or multimodal (several
maxima).
Usage
Frechet$mode(which = "all")
Arguments
which(character(1) | numeric(1)
Ignored if distribution is unimodal. Otherwise "all" returns all modes, otherwise specifies
which mode to return.

Returns the median of the distribution. If an analytical expression is available
returns distribution median, otherwise if symmetric returns self$mean, otherwise
returns self$quantile(0.5).
Usage
Frechet$median()
Method variance()
The variance of a distribution is defined by the formula
var_X = E[X^2] - E[X]^2
where E_X is the expectation of distribution X. If the distribution is multivariate the
covariance matrix is returned.
Usage
Frechet$variance(...)
Arguments
...Unused.
Method skewness()
The skewness of a distribution is defined by the third standardised moment,
sk_X = E_X[((x - μ)/σ)^3]
where E_X is the expectation of distribution X, μ is the mean of the
distribution and σ is the standard deviation of the distribution.
Usage
Frechet$skewness(...)
Arguments
...Unused.

distribution and σ is the standard deviation of the distribution.
Excess Kurtosis is Kurtosis - 3.

excess(logical(1))
If TRUE (default) excess kurtosis returned.
...Unused.
Method entropy()
The entropy of a (discrete) distribution is defined by

continuous distributions.
Usage
Frechet$entropy(base = 2, ...)
Arguments
base(integer(1))
Base of the entropy logarithm, default = 2 (Shannon entropy)
...Unused.
Method pgf()
The probability generating function is defined by

where X is the distribution and E_X is the expectation of the distribution X.
Usage
Frechet$pgf(z, ...)
Arguments
z(integer(1))
z integer to evaluate probability generating function at.
...Unused.
Method clone()
The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.
Usage
Frechet$clone(deep = FALSE)
Arguments
deepWhether to make a deep clone.
