LG: Logarithmic and zero adjusted logarithmic distributions for fitting a GAMLSS model

Description

The function LG defines the logarithmic distribution, a one parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). The functions dLG, pLG, qLG and rLG define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the logarithmic , LG(), distribution.

The function ZALG defines the zero adjusted logarithmic distribution, a two parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used in GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). The functions dZALG, pZALG, qZALG and rZALG define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the inflated logarithmic , ZALG(), distribution.

Usage

LG(mu.link = "logit")
dLG(x, mu = 0.5, log = FALSE)
pLG(q, mu = 0.5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qLG(p, mu = 0.5, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE, max.value = 10000)
rLG(n, mu = 0.5)
ZALG(mu.link = "logit", sigma.link = "logit")
dZALG(x, mu = 0.5, sigma = 0.1, log = FALSE)
pZALG(q, mu = 0.5, sigma = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qZALG(p, mu = 0.5, sigma = 0.1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
rZALG(n, mu = 0.5, sigma = 0.1)

Arguments

mu.link

defines the mu.link, with logit link as the default for the mu parameter

sigma.link

defines the sigma.link, with logit link as the default for the sigma parameter which in this case is the probability at zero.

x

vector of (non-negative integer)

mu

vector of positive means

sigma

vector of probabilities at zero

p

vector of probabilities

q

vector of quantiles

n

number of random values to return

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]

max.value

valued needed for the numerical calculation of the q-function

Value

The function LG and ZALG return a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit a logarithmic and a zero inflated logarithmic distributions respectively in the gamlss() function.

Details

For the definition of the distributions see Rigby and Stasinopoulos (2010) below.

The parameterization of the logarithmic distribution in the function LM is $$f(y|\mu) = \alpha \mu^y / y$$ where for \(y>=1\) and \(\mu>0\) and $$\alpha = - [\log(1-\mu)]^{-1} $$
