splitn_kurtosis: Moments of the split normal distribution

Description

Computing the mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis for the split-normal distribution.

Usage

splitn_kurtosis(lmd)
splitn_mean(mu, sigma, lmd)
splitn_skewness(sigma, lmd)
splitn_var(sigma, lmd)

Arguments

lmd

vector of skewness parameters (>0). If is 1, reduce to normal distribution.

mu

vector of location parameter. (The mode of the density)

sigma

vector of standard deviations.

Value

splitn_mean gives the mean. splitn_var gives the variance. splitn_skewness gives the skewness. splitn_kurtosis gives the kurtosis. (splitn_mean, splitn_var,splitn_skeness and splitn_kurtosis are all vectors.

Functions

• splitn_kurtosis: Kurtosis for the split-normal distribution.

• splitn_skewness: Skewness for the split-normal distribution.

• splitn_var: Variance for the split-normal distribution.
