gumbel: The Gumbel Distribution

Description

Density function, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Gumbel distribution with location and scale parameters.

Usage

dgumbel(x, loc=0, scale=1, log = FALSE) 
pgumbel(q, loc=0, scale=1, lower.tail = TRUE) 
qgumbel(p, loc=0, scale=1, lower.tail = TRUE)
rgumbel(n, loc=0, scale=1)

Arguments

x, q

Vector of quantiles.

p

Vector of probabilities.

n

Number of observations.

loc, scale

Location and scale parameters (can be given as vectors).

log

Logical; if TRUE, the log density is returned.

lower.tail

Logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x]

Value

dgumbel gives the density function, pgumbel gives the distribution function, qgumbel gives the quantile function, and rgumbel generates random deviates.

Details

The Gumbel distribution function with parameters \(\code{loc} = a\) and \(\code{scale} = b\) is $$G(z) = \exp\left\{-\exp\left[-\left(\frac{z-a}{b}\right) \right]\right\}$$ for all real \(z\), where \(b > 0\).
