cfS_Beta: Characteristic function of Beta distribution

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Description

cfX_Beta(t,alpha, beta) evaluates the characteristic function cf(t) of the symmetric zero-mean Beta distribution with shape parameter theta >0, defined on the interval (-1,1), i.e. symmetric beta distribution with zero mean and variance VAR = 1/(1+2*theta). The standard deviation is given by STD = sqrt(1/(1+2*theta))), i.e. cf(t) = cfS_Beta(t,theta) = gamma(1/2+theta) * (t/2)^(1/2-theta) * besselj(theta-1/2,t). Special cases (for specific values of the shape parameter theta): 1) theta = 1/2; Arcsine distribution on (-1,1): cf(t) = besselj(0,t). 2) theta = 1; Rectangular distribution on (-1,1): cf(t) = sin(t)/t;
