Gumbel: Gumbel distribution

In extraDistr: Additional Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

Gumbel distribution

Description

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

Usage

dgumbel(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)

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

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

rgumbel(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
mu, sigma	location and scale 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) = \frac{1}{\sigma} \exp\left(-\left(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} + \exp\left(-\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)\right)\right)

Cumulative distribution function

F(x) = \exp\left(-\exp\left(-\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\right)\right)

Quantile function

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

plot(ecdf(x))
curve(pgumbel(x, 5, 2), 0, 25, col = "red", lwd = 2, add = TRUE)
