The 2-parameter inverse Lomax distribution is the 4-parameter generalized beta II distribution with shape parameters a=q=1. It is also the 3-parameter Dagum distribution with shape parameter a=1, as well as the beta distribution of the second kind with q=1. More details can be found in Kleiber and Kotz (2003).
The inverse Lomax distribution has density
f(y) = p y^(p-1) / [b^p (1 + y/b)^(p+1)]
for b > 0, p > 0, y >= 0.
Here, b is the scale parameter scale,
and p is a shape parameter.
The mean does not seem to exist; the median is returned
as the fitted values.
This family function handles multiple responses.
An object of class "vglmff" (see vglmff-class).
The object is used by modelling functions such as vglm,
and vgam.
See the notes in genbetaII.
