SIMPLEX: The simplex distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

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

Description

The functions SIMPLEX() define the simplex distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). SIMPLEX() has mean equal to the parameter mu and sigma as scale parameter, see below. The functions dSIMPLEX, pSIMPLEX qSIMPLEX and rSIMPLEX define the density, comulative distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the simplex distribution.

Usage

SIMPLEX(mu.link = "logit", sigma.link = "log")
dSIMPLEX(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)
pSIMPLEX(q, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qSIMPLEX(p, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rSIMPLEX(n = 1, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1)

Arguments

mu.link	the mu link function with default logit
sigma.link	the sigma link function with default log
x,q	vector of quantiles
mu	vector of location parameter values
sigma	vector of scale parameter values
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.
n	number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required

Details

The simplex distribution is given as

f(y|mu,sigma) = 1/(2*pi*sigma^2*(y*(1-y))^3)^(1/2) exp(-(1/(2*sigma^2)) * ((y-mu)^2)/(y*(1-y)*mu^2*(1-mu)^2))

for y in (0,1), 0<μ<1 and σ>0.

Value

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