Rayleigh: Rayleigh distribution

In twolodzko/extraDistr: Additional Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

Rayleigh distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Rayleigh distribution.

Usage

drayleigh(x, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)

prayleigh(q, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qrayleigh(p, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rrayleigh(n, sigma = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
sigma	positive valued parameter.
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) = \frac{x}{\sigma^2} \exp\left(-\frac{x^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)

Cumulative distribution function

F(x) = 1 - \exp\left(-\frac{x^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)

Quantile function

F^{-1}(p) = \sqrt{-2\sigma^2 \log(1-p)}
