plotsl | R Documentation |
Produces plots of density and distribution function for the quantile based skew
logistic distribution. Although you could use curve(dsl(x))
to do this, the fact that the density and quantiles of this distribution are
defined in terms of the depth, u, means that a seperate function that
uses the depths to produce the values to plot is more accurate and efficient.

parameters |
A vector of length 3, giving the parameters of the quantile-based skew logistic distribution. The 3 elements are alpha (location), beta (scale) and delta (skewing). alpha can take on any real value, beta can take on any positive value and delta must satisfy 0 <= delta <= 1. delta = 0.5 gives the logistic distribution, delta = 0 gives the reflected exponential distribution and delta = 1 gives the exponential distribution. |

The quantile-based skew logistic distribution is defined by its quantile
function. The density of the distribution is available explicitly as a
function of depths, u, but not explicitly available as a function of
x (except for the special cases at delta=0,0.5 and 1).
This function calculates quantiles and density as a function of depths to
produce a density plot plotsld

.
A number of quantiles from the distribution, the default being the minimum, maximum and quartiles.
