GWeibull: Generalized Weibull Distribution

In rmutil: Utilities for Nonlinear Regression and Repeated Measurements Models

Generalized Weibull Distribution

Description

These functions provide information about the generalized Weibull distribution, also called the exponentiated Weibull, with scale parameter equal to m, shape equal to s, and family parameter equal to f: density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, log hazard, and random generation.

The generalized Weibull distribution has density

f(y) = s f y^(s-1) (1-exp(-(y/m)^s))^(f-1) exp(-(y/m)^s)/m^s

where m is the scale parameter of the distribution, s is the shape, and f is the family parameter.

f=1 gives a Weibull distribution, for s=1, f<0 a generalized F distribution, and for s>0, f<=0 a Burr type XII distribution.

Usage

dgweibull(y, s, m, f, log=FALSE)
pgweibull(q, s, m, f)
qgweibull(p, s, m, f)
rgweibull(n, s, m, f)

Arguments

y	vector of responses.
q	vector of quantiles.
p	vector of probabilities
n	number of values to generate
m	vector of location parameters.
s	vector of dispersion parameters.
f	vector of family parameters.
log	if TRUE, log probabilities are supplied.
