BI: Binomial distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

The BI() function defines the binomial distribution, a one parameter family distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). The functions dBI, pBI, qBI and rBI define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the binomial, BI(), distribution.

BI(mu.link = "logit")
dBI(x, bd = 1, mu = 0.5, log = FALSE)
pBI(q, bd = 1, mu = 0.5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qBI(p, bd = 1, mu = 0.5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rBI(n, bd = 1, mu = 0.5)

Arguments

mu.link

Defines the mu.link, with "logit" link as the default for the mu parameter. Other links are "probit" and "cloglog"'(complementary log-log)

x

vector of (non-negative integer) quantiles

mu

vector of positive probabilities

bd

vector of binomial denominators

p

vector of probabilities

q

vector of quantiles

n

number of random values to return

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]

Details

Definition file for binomial distribution.

f(y|mu)=(Gamma(n+1)*Gamma(y+1)/Gamma(n-y+1))* mu^y *(1-mu)^(n-y)

for y=0,1,2,...,n and 0<μ< 1.

Value

returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a binomial distribution in the gamlss() function.

Note

The response variable should be a matrix containing two columns, the first with the count of successes and the second with the count of failures. The parameter mu represents a probability parameter with limits 0 < mu <1. n*mu is the mean of the distribution where n is the binomial denominator.
