Gumbel-II Regression Family Function
Maximum likelihood estimation of the 2-parameter Gumbel-II distribution.

Parameter link functions applied to the
(positive) shape parameter (called s below) and
(positive) scale parameter (called b below).

If the fitted values are to be quantiles then set this argument to be the percentiles of these, e.g., 50 for median. |
The Gumbel-II density for a response Y is
f(y;b,s) = s y^(s-1) * exp(-(y/b)^s) / [b^s]
for b > 0, s > 0, y > 0. The cumulative distribution function is
F(y;b,s) = exp(-(y/b)^(-s)).
The mean of Y is b * gamma(1 - 1/s)
(returned as the fitted values)
when s>1,
and the variance is b^2 * Gamma(1-2/s) when
s>2.
This distribution looks similar to weibullR, and is
due to Gumbel (1954).
This VGAM family function currently does not handle censored data. Fisher scoring is used to estimate the two parameters. Probably similar regularity conditions hold for this distribution compared to the Weibull distribution.
An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class).
The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm,
and vgam.
See weibullR.
This VGAM family function handles multiple responses.
