VaRES (version 1.0.1)

power2: Power function II distribution

Description

Computes the pdf, cdf, value at risk and expected shortfall for the power function II distribution given by $$\begin{array}{ll} &\displaystyle f (x) = b (1 - x)^{b - 1}, \\ &\displaystyle F (x) = 1 - (1 - x)^b, \\ &\displaystyle {\rm VaR}_p (X) = 1 - (1 - p)^{1 / b}, \\ &\displaystyle {\rm ES}_p (X) = 1 + \frac {b \left[ (1 - p)^{1 / b + 1} - 1 \right]}{p (b + 1)} \end{array}$$ for \(0 < x < 1\), \(0 < p < 1\), and \(b > 0\), the shape parameter.

Usage

dpower2(x, b=1, log=FALSE)
ppower2(x, b=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
varpower2(p, b=1, log.p=FALSE, lower.tail=TRUE)
espower2(p, b=1)

Arguments

x

scaler or vector of values at which the pdf or cdf needs to be computed

p

scaler or vector of values at which the value at risk or expected shortfall needs to be computed

b

the value of the shape parameter, must be positive, the default is 1

log

if TRUE then log(pdf) are returned

log.p

if TRUE then log(cdf) are returned and quantiles are computed for exp(p)

lower.tail

if FALSE then 1-cdf are returned and quantiles are computed for 1-p

Value

An object of the same length as x, giving the pdf or cdf values computed at x or an object of the same length as p, giving the values at risk or expected shortfall computed at p.
