Order

Distributions of Order Statistics


Description

Density function, distribution function and random generation for a selected Order statistic of a given number of independent variables from a specified distribution.

Usage

dOrder(x, densfun, distnfun, ..., distn, mlen = 1, j = 1,
      largest = TRUE, log = FALSE)
pOrder(q, distnfun, ..., distn, mlen = 1, j = 1, largest = TRUE,
      lower.tail = TRUE)
rOrder(n, quantfun, ..., distn, mlen = 1, j = 1, largest = TRUE)

Arguments

x, q

Vector of quantiles.

n

Number of observations.

densfun, distnfun, quantfun

Density, distribution and quantile function of the specified distribution. The density function must have a log argument (a simple wrapper can always be constructed to achieve this).

...

Parameters of the specified distribution.

distn

A character string, optionally specified as an alternative to densfun, distnfun and quantfun such that the density, distribution and quantile functions are formed upon the addition of the prefixes d, p and q respectively.

mlen

The number of independent variables.

j

The Order statistic, taken as the jth largest (default) or smallest of mlen, according to the value of largest.

largest

Logical; if TRUE (default) use the jth largest Order statistic, otherwise use the jth smallest.

log

Logical; if TRUE, the log density is returned.

lower.tail

Logical; if TRUE (default) probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise P[X > x].

Value

dOrder gives the density function, pOrder gives the distribution function and qOrder gives the quantile function of a selected Order statistic from a sample of size mlen, from a specified distibution. rOrder generates random deviates.
