WA1: Waring distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

In gamlss.dist: Distributions to be used for GAMLSS modelling.

Description

The function WA1() defines the Waring distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(), with parameters mu and sigma. The functions dWA1, pWA1, qWA1 and rWA1 define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the WA1 parameterization of the Waring distribution.

Usage

WA1(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log")
dWA1(x, mu = 2, sigma = 2, log = FALSE)
pWA1(q, mu = 2, sigma = 2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qWA1(p, mu = 2, sigma = 2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE, max.value = 10000)
rWA1(n, mu = 2, sigma = 2)

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" as the default for the sigma parameter
x, q	vector of quantiles
mu	vector of location parameter values
sigma	vector of scale parameter values
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p)
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= 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
max.value	constant; generates a sequence of values for the cdf function

Details

The parameterization of the Pareto Type 2 distribution in the function WA1 is

f(y|mu, sigma) = Beta(sigma+y, mu+1)/Beta(sigma, mu)

for y>=0, mu>0 and sigma>0.

Value

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