TwoSidedPower

Two-Sided Power Distribution


Description

These functions provide information about the two-sided power distribution with location parameter equal to m and shape equal to s: density, cumulative distribution, quantiles, and random generation.

The two-sided power distribution has density

f(y) = s(y/m)^(s-1), y<=m

f(y) = s((1-y)/(1-m))^(s-1), y>=m

where m is the location parameter of the distribution and s is the shape, and 0<y<1.

For s=1, this is the uniform distribution and for s=2, it is the triangular distribution.

Usage

dtwosidedpower(y, m, s=2, log=FALSE)
ptwosidedpower(q, m, s=2)
qtwosidedpower(p, m, s=2)
rtwosidedpower(n, m, s=2)

Arguments

y

vector of responses.

q

vector of quantiles.

p

vector of probabilities

n

number of values to generate

m

vector of location parameters.

s

vector of shape parameters.

log

if TRUE, log probabilities are supplied.
