Generalized logistic distribution
Distribution function and quantile function of the generalized logistic distribution.
cdfglo(x, para = c(0, 1, 0)) quaglo(f, para = c(0, 1, 0))
x |
Vector of quantiles. |
f |
Vector of probabilities. |
para |
Numeric vector containing the parameters of the distribution, in the order xi, alpha, k (location, scale, shape). |
The generalized logistic distribution with location parameter xi, scale parameter alpha and shape parameter k has distribution function
F(x)= 1 / (1+exp(-y))
where
y = (-1/k) log(1-k(x-xi)/alpha) ,
with x bounded by xi+alpha/k from below if k<0 and from above if k>0, and quantile function
x(F) = xi + alpha (1 - ((1-F)/F)^k) / k .
The logistic distribution is the special case k=0.
cdfglo gives the distribution function;
quaglo gives the quantile function.
The functions expect the distribution parameters in a vector,
rather than as separate arguments as in the standard R
distribution functions pnorm, qnorm, etc.
cdfkap for the kappa distribution,
which generalizes the generalized logistic distribution.
