GPD: Generalized Pareto distribution

In twolodzko/extraDistr: Additional Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

Generalized Pareto distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the generalized Pareto distribution.

Usage

dgpd(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, xi = 0, log = FALSE)

pgpd(q, mu = 0, sigma = 1, xi = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qgpd(p, mu = 0, sigma = 1, xi = 0, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rgpd(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1, xi = 0)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
mu, sigma, xi	location, scale, and shape parameters. Scale must be positive.
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X \le 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

Probability density function

f(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \frac{1}{\sigma} \left(1+\xi \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)^{-(\xi+1)/\xi} & \xi \neq 0 \\ \frac{1}{\sigma} \exp\left(-\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right) & \xi = 0 \end{array}\right.

Cumulative distribution function

F(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} 1-\left(1+\xi \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)^{-1/\xi} & \xi \neq 0 \\ 1-\exp\left(-\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right) & \xi = 0 \end{array}\right.

Quantile function

F^{-1}(x) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll} \mu + \sigma \frac{(1-p)^{-\xi}-1}{\xi} & \xi \neq 0 \\ \mu - \sigma \log(1-p) & \xi = 0 \end{array}\right.
