AddW: The Additive Weibull family

In ousuga/RelDists: Estimation for some Reliability Distributions

The Additive Weibull family

Description

The Additive Weibull distribution

Usage

AddW(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "log", tau.link = "log")

Arguments

mu.link	defines the mu.link, with "log" link as the default for the mu parameter.
sigma.link	defines the sigma.link, with "log" link as the default for the sigma.
nu.link	defines the nu.link, with "log" link as the default for the nu parameter.
tau.link	defines the tau.link, with "log" link as the default for the tau parameter.

Details

Additive Weibull distribution with parameters mu, sigma, nu and tau has density given by

f(x) = (μν x^{ν - 1} + στ x^{τ - 1}) \exp({-μ x^{ν} - σ x^{τ} }),

for x > 0.

Value

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

Examples

# Example 1
# Generating some random values with
# known mu, sigma, nu and tau
# Will not be run this example because high number is cycles
# is needed in order to get good estimates
## Not run: 
y <- rAddW(n=100, mu=1.5, sigma=0.2, nu=3, tau=0.8)

# Fitting the model
require(gamlss)

mod <- gamlss(y~1, sigma.fo=~1, nu.fo=~1, tau.fo=~1, family='AddW',
              control=gamlss.control(n.cyc=5000, trace=FALSE))

# Extracting the fitted values for mu, sigma, nu and tau
# using the inverse link function
exp(coef(mod, what='mu'))
exp(coef(mod, what='sigma'))
exp(coef(mod, what='nu'))
exp(coef(mod, what='tau'))

## End(Not run)

# Example 2
# Generating random values under some model
# Will not be run this example because high number is cycles
# is needed in order to get good estimates
## Not run:

x1 <- runif(n, min=0.4, max=0.6)
x2 <- runif(n, min=0.4, max=0.6)
mu <- exp(1.67 + -3 * x1)
sigma <- exp(0.69 - 2 * x2)
nu <- 3
tau <- 0.8
x <- rAddW(n=n, mu, sigma, nu, tau)

mod <- gamlss(x~x1, sigma.fo=~x2, nu.fo=~1, tau.fo=~1, family=AddW,
              control=gamlss.control(n.cyc=5000, trace=FALSE))
