In mable: Maximum Approximate Bernstein/Beta Likelihood Estimation

Exponentially Tilted Mixture Beta Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and pseudorandom number generation for the exponentially tilted mixture of beta distributions, with shapes (i+1, m-i+1), i = 0, \ldots, m, given mixture proportions p=(p_0,\ldots,p_m) and support interval.

Usage

dtmixbeta(x, p, alpha, interval = c(0, 1), regr, ...)

ptmixbeta(x, p, alpha, interval = c(0, 1), regr, ...)

qtmixbeta(u, p, alpha, interval = c(0, 1), regr, ...)

rtmixbeta(n, p, alpha, interval = c(0, 1), regr, ...)

Arguments

x	a vector of quantiles
p	a vector of m+1 components of p must be nonnegative and sum to one for mixture beta distribution. See 'Details'.
alpha	regression coefficients
interval	support/truncation interval [a, b].
regr	regressor vector function r(x)=(1,r_1(x),...,r_d(x)) which returns n x (d+1) matrix, n=length(x)
...	additional arguments to be passed to regr
u	a vector of probabilities
n	sample size

Details

The density of the mixture exponentially tilted beta distribution on an interval [a, b] can be written f_m(x; p)=(b-a)^{-1}\exp(\alpha'r(x)) \sum_{i=0}^m p_i\beta_{mi}[(x-a)/(b-a)]/(b-a), where p = (p_0, \ldots, p_m), p_i\ge 0, \sum_{i=0}^m p_i=1 and \beta_{mi}(u) = (m+1){m\choose i}u^i(1-x)^{m-i}, i = 0, 1, \ldots, m, is the beta density with shapes (i+1, m-i+1). The cumulative distribution function is F_m(x; p) = \sum_{i=0}^m p_i B_{mi}[(x-a)/(b-a);alpha], where B_{mi}(u ;alpha), i = 0, 1, \ldots, m, is the exponentially tilted beta cumulative distribution function with shapes (i+1, m-i+1).

Value

A vector of f_m(x; p) or F_m(x; p) values at x. dmixbeta returns the density, pmixbeta returns the cumulative distribution function, qmixbeta returns the quantile function, and rmixbeta generates pseudo random numbers.
