SN2: Skew Normal Type 2 distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

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

Description

The function SN2() defines the Skew Normal Type 2 distribution, a three parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(), with parameters mu, sigma and nu. The functions dSN2, pSN2, qSN2 and rSN2 define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the SN2 parameterization of the Skew Normal Type 2 distribution.

Usage

SN2(mu.link = "identity", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log")
dSN2(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2, log = FALSE)
pSN2(q, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qSN2(p, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rSN2(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 2)

Arguments

mu.link	Defines the mu.link, with "‘identity"’ links the default for the mu parameter
sigma.link	Defines the sigma.link, with "‘log"’ as the default for the sigma parameter
nu.link	Defines the nu.link, with "‘log"’ as the default for the sigma parameter
x, q	vector of quantiles
mu	vector of location parameter values
sigma	vector of scale parameter values
nu	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 parameterization of the Skew Normal Type 2 distribution in the function SN2 is ...

Value

returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a Skew Normal Type 2 distribution in the gamlss() function.

Note

This is a special case of the Skew Exponential Power type 3 distribution (SEP3)where tau=2.
