twCoefLogitnorm

Description

Estimating coefficients of logitnormal distribution from median and upper quantile

Usage

twCoefLogitnorm(median, quant, perc = 0.975)

Arguments

median	numeric vector: the median of the density function
quant	numeric vector: the upper quantile value
perc	numeric vector: the probability for which the quantile was specified

Value

numeric matrix with columns c("mu","sigma") rows correspond to rows in median, quant, and perc

Examples

# estimate the parameters, with median at 0.7 and upper quantile at 0.9
med = 0.7; upper = 0.9 
med = 0.2; upper = 0.4 
(theta <- twCoefLogitnorm(med,upper))

x <- seq(0,1,length.out = 41)[-c(1,41)]	# plotting grid
px <- plogitnorm(x,mu = theta[1],sigma = theta[2])	#percentiles function
plot(px~x); abline(v = c(med,upper),col = "gray"); abline(h = c(0.5,0.975),col = "gray")

dx <- dlogitnorm(x,mu = theta[1],sigma = theta[2])	#density function
plot(dx~x); abline(v = c(med,upper),col = "gray")

# vectorized
(theta <- twCoefLogitnorm(seq(0.4,0.8,by = 0.1),0.9))

.tmp.f <- function(){
  # xr = rlogitnorm(1e5, mu = theta["mu"], sigma = theta["sigma"])
  # median(xr)
  invlogit(theta["mu"])
  qlogitnorm(0.975, mu = theta["mu"], sigma = theta["sigma"])
}
