hpareto: Log Hazard Function for a Pareto Process

In swihart/event: Event History Procedures and Models

Description

These functions provide information about the Pareto distribution with location parameter equal to m and dispersion equal to s: log hazard. (See 'rmutil' for the d/p/q/r boxcox functions density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, and random generation).

The Pareto distribution has density

f(y) = s (1 + y/(m (s-1)))^(-s-1)/(m (s-1))

where m is the mean parameter of the distribution and s is the dispersion.

This distribution can be obtained as a mixture distribution from the exponential distribution using a gamma mixing distribution.

Usage

hpareto(y, m, s)

Arguments

y	vector of responses.
m	vector of location parameters.
s	vector of dispersion parameters.
