Definition
Parameters (2): ξ (location), α (scale).
Range of x: -∞ < x < ∞.
Probability density function:
f(x) = α^{-1} \exp[-(x-ξ)/α] \exp\{- \exp[-(x-ξ)/α]\}
Cumulative distribution function:
F(x) = \exp[-\exp(-(x-ξ)/α)]
Quantile function: x(F) = ξ - α \log(-\log F).
L-moments
λ_1 = ξ + α γ
λ_2 = α \log 2
τ_3 = 0.1699 = \log(9/8)/ \log 2
τ_4 = 0.1504 = (16 \log 2 - 10 \log 3)/ \log 2
Here γ is Euler's constant, 0.5772...
Parameters
α=λ_2 / \log 2
ξ = λ_1 - γ α
f.gumb
gives the density f, F.gumb
gives the distribution function F, invF.gumb
gives
the quantile function x, Lmom.gumb
gives the L-moments (λ_1, λ_2, τ_3, τ_4)), par.gumb
gives the parameters (xi
, alfa
), and rand.gumb
generates random deviates.
Lmom.gumb
and par.gumb
accept input as vectors of equal length. In f.gumb
, F.gumb
, invF.gumb
and rand.gumb
parameters (xi
, alfa
) must be atomic.
