VaR_burr: Value-at-Risk of the Burr distribution

Description

Value-at-Risk of the Burr distribution with shape parameters \(\alpha\) (shape1) and \(\tau\) (shape2) as well as rate parameter \(\lambda\).

Usage

VaR_burr(kap, shape1, shape2, rate = 1/scale, scale = 1/rate)

Arguments

kap

probability.

shape1

first shape parameter \(\alpha\), must be positive integer.

shape2

second shape parameter \(\tau\), must be positive integer.

rate

\(\lambda\) is the rate parameter, must be positive.

scale

alternative parameterization to rate parameter, scale = 1 / rate.

Value

Function :

Invalid parameter values will return an error detailing which parameter is problematic.

Details

The Burr distribution with rate parameter \(\lambda\) as well as shape parameters \(\alpha\) and \(\tau\) has density: $$f\left(x\right) = \frac{\alpha \tau \lambda^{ \alpha } x^{ \tau - 1 }}{(\lambda + x^{ \tau })^{\alpha +1}}$$ for \(x \in \mathcal{R}^+\), \(\alpha, \tau, \lambda > 0\).
