Burr

The Burr Distribution


Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Burr distribution with parameters shape1 and shape2.

Usage

dburr(x, shape1, shape2, log = FALSE)

pburr(q, shape1, shape2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qburr(p, shape1, shape2, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rburr(n, shape1, shape2)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

shape1

shape parameter.

shape2

shape parameter.

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p), default: FALSE.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE, probabilities are P[X ≤ x] otherwise, P[X > x], default: TRUE.

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations.

Details

The Burr distribution function with shape1 parameter c and shape2 parameter k has density given by

f(x)=ckx^(c-1)/(1+x^c)^(k+1)

for x>0. The cumulative distribution function is

F(x)=1-(1+x^c)^-k

on x>0.

Value

dburr gives the density, pburr gives the distribution function, qburr gives the quantile function, and rburr generates random deviates.

Invalid arguments will result in return value NaN, with a warning.
