The Singh-Maddala Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Singh-Maddala distribution with shape parameters a and q, and scale parameter scale.

Usage

dsinmad(x, scale = 1, shape1.a, shape3.q, log = FALSE)
psinmad(q, scale = 1, shape1.a, shape3.q, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qsinmad(p, scale = 1, shape1.a, shape3.q, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rsinmad(n, scale = 1, shape1.a, shape3.q)

Arguments

`x, q`	vector of quantiles.
`p`	vector of probabilities.
`n`	number of observations. If `length(n) > 1`, the length is taken to be the number required.
`shape1.a, shape3.q`	shape parameters.
`scale`	scale parameter.
`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 sinmad, which is the VGAM family function for estimating the parameters by maximum likelihood estimation.

Value

dsinmad gives the density, psinmad gives the distribution function, qsinmad gives the quantile function, and rsinmad generates random deviates.

Note

The Singh-Maddala distribution is a special case of the 4-parameter generalized beta II distribution.

Examples

sdata <- data.frame(y = rsinmad(n = 3000, scale = exp(2),
                                shape1 = exp(1), shape3 = exp(1)))
fit <- vglm(y ~ 1, sinmad(lss = FALSE, ishape1.a = 2.1), data = sdata,
            trace = TRUE, crit = "coef")
coef(fit, matrix = TRUE)
