cdfglo: Generalized logistic distribution

Description

Distribution function and quantile function of the generalized logistic distribution.

Usage

cdfglo(x, para = c(0, 1, 0))
quaglo(f, para = c(0, 1, 0))

Arguments

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).

Value

  • cdfglo gives the distribution function; quaglo gives the quantile function.

Details

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 $$y=-k^{-1}\log(1-k(x-\xi)/\alpha),$$ with $x$ bounded by $\xi+\alpha/k$ from below if $k<0$ and="" from="" above="" if="" $k="">0$, and quantile function $$x(F)=\xi-{\alpha\over k}(1-({1-F \over F})^k).$$ The logistic distribution is the special case $k=0$.
