The Generalized Rayleigh Distribution


Description

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

Usage

dgenray(x, scale = 1, shape, log = FALSE)
pgenray(q, scale = 1, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qgenray(p, scale = 1, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rgenray(n, scale = 1, shape)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1 then the length is taken to be the number required.

scale, shape

positive scale and shape parameters.

log

Logical. If log = TRUE then the logarithm of the density is returned.

lower.tail, log.p

Same meaning as in pnorm or qnorm.

Details

See genrayleigh, the VGAM family function for estimating the parameters, for the formula of the probability density function and other details.

Value

dgenray gives the density, pgenray gives the distribution function, qgenray gives the quantile function, and rgenray generates random deviates.

Note

We define scale as the reciprocal of the scale parameter used by Kundu and Raqab (2005).

max(abs(pgenray(Q, shape, scale = Scale) - probs))  # Should be 0
