InvChiSq: Inverse chi-squared and scaled chi-squared distributions

In extraDistr: Additional Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

Description

Density, distribution function and random generation for the inverse chi-squared distribution and scaled chi-squared distribution.

Usage

dinvchisq(x, nu, tau, log = FALSE)

pinvchisq(q, nu, tau, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qinvchisq(p, nu, tau, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rinvchisq(n, nu, tau)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
nu	positive valued shape parameter.
tau	positive valued scaling parameter; if provided it returns values for scaled chi-squared distributions.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X ≤ x] otherwise, P[X > x].
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required.

Details

If X follows χ^2 (ν) distribution, then 1/X follows inverse chi-squared distribution parametrized by ν. Inverse chi-squared distribution is a special case of inverse gamma distribution with parameters α=ν/2 and β=1/2; or α=ν/2 and β=(ντ^2)/2 for scaled inverse chi-squared distribution.

Examples

x <- rinvchisq(1e5, 20)
hist(x, 100, freq = FALSE)
curve(dinvchisq(x, 20), 0, 1, n = 501, col = "red", add = TRUE)
hist(pinvchisq(x, 20))
plot(ecdf(x))
curve(pinvchisq(x, 20), 0, 1, n = 501, col = "red", lwd = 2, add = TRUE)

# scaled

x <- rinvchisq(1e5, 10, 5)
hist(x, 100, freq = FALSE)
curve(dinvchisq(x, 10, 5), 0, 150, n = 501, col = "red", add = TRUE)
hist(pinvchisq(x, 10, 5))
plot(ecdf(x))
curve(pinvchisq(x, 10, 5), 0, 150, n = 501, col = "red", lwd = 2, add = TRUE)
