davies.moment: Moments of the Davies distribution

Description

Moments of order statistics of random variables drawn from a Davies distribution

Usage

davies.moment(n=1 , i=1 , order=1 , params)
M(order,params)
mu(params)
expected.value(n,i,params)
expected.value.approx(n,i,params)
variance(params)
skewness(params)
kurtosis(params)

Arguments

params

A three-member vector holding~$C$, $\lambda_1$ and~$\lambda_2$

n

The number of observations

i

Return information about the $i$-th order statistic (ie $i=1$ means the smallest, $i=n$ means the biggest)

order

The order (eg order=2 gives the square)

Details

Function davies.moment() gives the $r$-th moment of the $i$-th order statistic of $n$ observations. The following aliases are just newbie wrappers with $n=i=1$ (ie moments of one observation from a Davies distribution):

• M()gives the$r$-th moment for$n=i=1$
• mu()gives the first moment of a Davies distribution (ie the mean)
• variance()gives the secondcentralmoment of a Davies distribution
• skewness()gives the normalized skewness of a Davies distribution
• kurtosis()gives the normalized kurtosis of a Davies distribution

Examples

params <- c(10,0.1,0.1)
davies.moment(n=100,i=99,2,params) # ie the second moment of the 99th smallest
                            # observation of 100 drawn from a Davies
                            # distribution with parameters p


mean(rdavies(1e6,params))-mu(params)
