BNB: Beta Negative Binomial distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

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

Description

The BNB() function defines the beta negative binomial distribution, a three parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss().

The functions dBNB, pBNB, qBNB and rBNB define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the beta negative binomial distribution, BNB().

The functions ZABNB() and ZIBNB() are the zero adjusted (hurdle) and zero inflated versions of the beta negative binomial distribution, respectively. That is four parameter distributions.

The functions dZABNB, dZIBNB, pZABNB,pZIBNB, qZABNB qZIBNB rZABNB and rZIBNB define the probability, cumulative, quantile and random generation functions for the zero adjusted and zero inflated beta negative binomial distributions, ZABNB(), ZIBNB(), respectively.

Arguments

mu.link

The link function for mu

sigma.link

The link function for sigma

nu.link

The link function for nu

tau.link

The link function for tau

x

vector of (non-negative integer)

mu

vector of positive means

sigma

vector of positive dispersion parameter

nu

vector of a positive parameter

tau

vector of probabilities

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

q

vector of quantiles

n

number of random values to return

max.value

a constant, set to the default value of 10000 for how far the algorithm should look for q

Details

The probability function of the BNB is

f(y|μ,σ, ν)=(Γ(y+1/ν)Β(y+(μν)/σ, 1/σ+1/ν +1 )/(Γ(y+1) Γ(1/ν) Β((μν)/σ, 1/σ+1) )

for y=0,1,2,3,..., μ>0, σ>0 and ν>0.

The distribution has mean μ.

Value

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