csn (version 1.1.3)

dcsn: The probability density function

Description

The probability density function of the closed-skew normal distribution

Usage

dcsn(x, mu, sigma, gamma, nu, delta)

Arguments

x

this is either a vector of length n or a matrix with n columns, where n=ncol(sigma), giving the coordinates of the point(s) where the density must be evaluated

mu

a numeric vector representing the location parameter of the distribution; it must be of length n, as defined above

sigma

a positive definite matrix representing the scale parameter of the distribution; a vector of length 1 is also allowed

gamma

a matrix representing the skewness parameter of the distribution; a vector of length 1 is also allowed

nu

a numeric vector allows for closure with conditional densities; it must be of length q, as defined above

delta

a positive definite matrix allows for closure with the marginal densities; a vector of length 1 is also allowed

Value

dcsn returns a vector of density values

Details

Function dcsn makes use of pmvnorm and dmvnorm from package mvtnorm
