Cumulative Distribution Function of the Generalized Normal Distribution

Description

This function computes the cumulative probability or nonexceedance probability of the Generalized Normal distribution given parameters (\xi, \alpha, and \kappa) computed by pargno. The cumulative distribution function is

F(x) = \Phi(Y) \mbox{,}

where \Phi is the cumulative distribution function of the Standard Normal distribution and Y is

Y = -\kappa^{-1} \log\left(1 - \frac{\kappa(x-\xi)}{\alpha}\right)\mbox{,}

for \kappa \ne 0 and

Y = (x-\xi)/\alpha\mbox{,}

for \kappa = 0, where F(x) is the nonexceedance probability for quantile x, \xi is a location parameter, \alpha is a scale parameter, and \kappa is a shape parameter.

Usage

cdfgno(x, para)

Arguments

x	A real value vector.
para	The parameters from pargno or vec2par.

Value

Nonexceedance probability (F) for x.
