x, q |
vector of quantiles. |
b, eta |
positive valued scale and shape parameters; both need to be positive. |
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]. |
n |
number of observations. If |
If X follows exponential distribution parametrized by scale b and
Y follows reparametrized Gumbel distribution with cumulative distribution function
F(x) = exp(-η*exp(-b*x)) parametrized by
scale b and shape η, then max(X,Y) follows shifted
Gompertz distribution parametrized by scale b>0 and shape η>0.
The above relation is used by rsgomp
function for random generation from
shifted Gompertz distribution.
Probability density function
f(x) = b*exp(-b*x) * exp(-η*exp(-b*x)) * (1 + η*(1 - exp(-b*x)))
Cumulative distribution function
F(x) = (1-exp(-b*x)) * exp(-η*exp(-b*x))
