stanf_jsep: Stan function of Jones Skew Exponential Power

In neodistr: Neo-Normal Distribution

Stan function of Jones Skew Exponential Power

Description

Stan code of jsep distribution for custom distribution in stan

Usage

stanf_jsep(vectorize = TRUE)

Arguments

vectorize

logical; if TRUE, Vectorize Stan code of Jones and faddy distribution are given The default value of this parameter is TRUE

Details

The Jones Skew Exponential Power with parameters \mu, \sigma,\alpha, and \beta has density:

f(y | \mu, \sigma, \alpha, \beta) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \frac{c}{\sigma} \exp\left(-|z|^{\alpha}\right), & \text{if } y < \mu \\ \frac{c}{\sigma} \exp\left(-|z|^{\beta}\right), & \text{if } y \geq \mu \end{array} \right.

where:

z = \frac{y - \mu}{\sigma},

c = \left[ \Gamma(1 + \beta^{-1}) + \Gamma(1 + \alpha^{-1}) \right]^{-1}.

Value

jsep_lpdf gives stan's code of the log of density, jsep_cdf gives stan's code of the distribution function, and jsep_lcdf gives stan's code of the log of distribution function
