Inverse Gamma distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

Description

The function IGAMMA() defines the Inverse Gamma distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(), with parameters mu (the mode) and sigma. The functions dIGAMMA, pIGAMMA, qIGAMMA and rIGAMMA define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the IGAMMA parameterization of the Inverse Gamma distribution.

Usage

IGAMMA(mu.link = "log", sigma.link="log")
dIGAMMA(x, mu = 1, sigma = .5, log = FALSE)
pIGAMMA(q, mu = 1, sigma = .5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qIGAMMA(p, mu = 1, sigma = .5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rIGAMMA(n, mu = 1, sigma = .5)

Arguments

mu.link	Defines the mu.link, with log link as the default for the mu parameter
sigma.link	Defines the sigma.link, with log as the default for the sigma parameter
x, q	vector of quantiles
mu	vector of location parameter values
sigma	vector of scale parameter values
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

The parameterization of the Inverse Gamma distribution in the function IGAMMA is

f(y|\mu, \sigma) = \frac{\left[\mu\,(\alpha+1)\right]^{\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)} \,y^{-(\alpha+1)}\, \exp{\left[-\frac{\mu\,(\alpha+1)}{y}\right]}

where \alpha = 1/(\sigma^2) for y>0, \mu>0 and \sigma>0 see pp. 424-426 of Rigby et al. (2019).

Value

returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit an Inverse Gamma distribution in the gamlss() function.

Note

For the function IGAMMA(), mu is the mode of the Inverse Gamma distribution.
