BNB: Beta Negative Binomial distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

In Stan125/gamlss.dist: Distributions for Generalized Additive Models for Location Scale and Shape

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.

Usage

BNB(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log")
dBNB(x, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, log = FALSE)
pBNB(q, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qBNB(p, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE, 
     max.value = 10000)
rBNB(n, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, max.value = 10000)

ZABNB(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log",
      tau.link = "logit")
dZABNB(x, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, log = FALSE)
pZABNB(q, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, 
       log.p = FALSE)
qZABNB(p, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, 
       log.p = FALSE, max.value = 10000)
rZABNB(n, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, max.value = 10000)

ZIBNB(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log", 
      tau.link = "logit")
dZIBNB(x, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, log = FALSE)
pZIBNB(q, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, 
       log.p = FALSE)
qZIBNB(p, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, 
       log.p = FALSE, max.value = 10000)
rZIBNB(n, mu = 1, sigma = 1, nu = 1, tau = 0.1, max.value = 10000)       

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.
