GIG

Generalized Inverse Gaussian distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

Description

The function GIG defines the generalized inverse gaussian distribution, a three parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). The functions DIG, pGIG, GIG and rGIG define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the specific parameterization of the generalized inverse gaussian distribution defined by function GIG.

Usage

GIG(mu.link = "log", sigma.link = "log", 
                       nu.link = "identity")
dGIG(x, mu=1, sigma=1, nu=1,  
                      log = FALSE)
pGIG(q, mu=1, sigma=1, nu=1,  lower.tail = TRUE, 
                     log.p = FALSE)
qGIG(p, mu=1, sigma=1, nu=1,  lower.tail = TRUE, 
                     log.p = FALSE)
rGIG(n, mu=1, sigma=1, nu=1, ...)

Arguments

`mu.link`	Defines the mu.link, with "log" link as the default for the `mu` parameter, other links are "inverse" and "identity"
`sigma.link`	Defines the sigma.link, with "log" link as the default for the `sigma` parameter, other links are "inverse" and "identity"
`nu.link`	Defines the nu.link, with "identity" link as the default for the `nu` parameter, other links are "inverse" and "log"
`x,q`	vector of quantiles
`mu`	vector of location parameter values
`sigma`	vector of scale parameter values
`nu`	vector of shape parameter values
`log, log.p`	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
`lower.tail`	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x]
`p`	vector of probabilities
`n`	number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required
`...`	for extra arguments

Details

The specific parameterization of the generalized inverse gaussian distribution used in GIG is f(y|mu,sigma,nu)=((c/mu)^nu)*(y^(nu-1))/(2*besselK(1/sigma,nu))*exp(-1/(2*sigma)*(c*y/mu+mu/(c*y))) where c = besselK(1/sigma,nu+1)/besselK(1/sigma,nu), for y>0, mu>0, sigma>0 and -Inf>nu>Inf.

Value

GIG() returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a generalized inverse gaussian distribution in the gamlss() function. DIG() gives the density, pGIG() gives the distribution function, GIG() gives the quantile function, and rGIG() generates random deviates.
