Reversed Mean Residual Quantile Function of the Distributions

Description

This function computes the Reversed Mean Residual Quantile Function for quantile function x(F) (par2qua, qlmomco). The function is defined by Nair et al. (2013, p.57) as

R(u) = x(u) - \frac{1}{u}\int_0^u x(p)\; \mathrm{d}p\mbox{,}

where R(u) is the reversed mean residual for nonexceedance probability u and x(u) is a constant for x(F = u).

Usage

rrmlmomco(f, para)

Arguments

f	Nonexceedance probability (0 \le F \le 1).
para	The parameters from lmom2par or vec2par.

Value

Reversed mean residual value for F.

Examples

# It is easiest to think about residual life as starting at the origin, units in days.
A <- vec2par(c(0.0, 2649, 2.6), type="gov") # so set lower bounds = 0.0
qlmomco(0.5, A)  # The median lifetime = 1005 days
rrmlmomco(0.5, A) # The reversed mean remaining life given median survival = 691 days

## Not run: 
F <- nonexceeds(f01=TRUE)
plot(F, qlmomco(F,A), type="l", # life
     xlab="NONEXCEEDANCE PROBABILITY", ylab="LIFETIME, IN DAYS")
lines(F,  rmlmomco(F, A), col=4, lwd=4) # thick blue, mean residual life
lines(F, rrmlmomco(F, A), col=2, lwd=4) # thick red, reversed mean residual life

## End(Not run)
