beta.gc: The Beta Marginal of Class 'marginal.gc'

In gcKrig: Analysis of Geostatistical Count Data using Gaussian Copulas

The Beta Marginal of Class marginal.gc

Description

The Beta marginal used for simulation and computing correlation in the trans-Gaussian random field in function simgc and corrTG of the package gcKrig. It cannot be used in function mlegc nor predgc to make model inferences.

Usage

beta.gc(shape1 = 1, shape2 = 1)

Arguments

shape1	non-negative scalar, the shape parameter of the Beta distribution.
shape2	non-negative scalar, another shape parameter of the Beta distribution.

Details

The Beta distribution with parameters shape1 = a and shape2 = b has density

\frac{Γ(a+b)}{Γ(a) Γ(b)} x^{a-1} (1-x)^{b-1}

for a > 0, b > 0 and 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 where the boundary values at x = 0 or x = 1 are defined as by continuity (as limits).

Value

An object of class marginal.gc representing the marginal component.
