LOGITNO

Logit Normal distribution for fitting in GAMLSS

Description

The functions dLOGITNO, pLOGITNO, qLOGITNO and rLOGITNO define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the logit-normal distribution. The function LOGITNO can be used for fitting the distribution in gamlss().

Usage

LOGITNO(mu.link = "logit", sigma.link = "log")
dLOGITNO(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)
pLOGITNO(q, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qLOGITNO(p, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rLOGITNO(n, mu = 0.5, sigma = 1)

Arguments

`mu.link`	the link function for mu
`sigma.link`	the link function for sigma
`x,q`	vector of quantiles
`mu`	vector of location parameter values
`sigma`	vector of scale 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

Details

The probability density function in LOGITNO is defined as

f(y|mu,sigma)=(1/(y*(1-y)*sqrt(2*pi)*sigma))*exp(-0.5*((log(y/(1-y))-log(mu/(1-mu))/(sigma))^2)

for 0<y>1, mu=(0,1) and σ>0.

Value

LOGITNO() returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a logit-normal distribution in the gamlss() function.
