PowerCauchy: The Power Cauchy Distribution

In powdist: Power and Reversal Power Distributions

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the power Cauchy distribution with parameters mu, sigma and lambda.

Usage

dpcauchy(x, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)

ppcauchy(q, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE)

qpcauchy(p, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE)

rpcauchy(n, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
lambda	shape parameter.
mu, sigma	location and scale parameters.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X ≤ x ], otherwise, P[X > x].
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations.

Details

The power Cauchy distribution has density

f(x)=[λ/σ][1/(π(1+(x-μ)/σ))][(1/π)arctan((x-μ)/σ)+(1/2)]^(λ-1),

where -∞<μ<∞ is the location paramether, σ^2>0 the scale parameter and λ>0 the shape parameter.
