ght: Generalized Hyperbolic Student-t

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the hyperbolic distribution.

Usage

dght(x, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10, log = FALSE) pght(q, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10) qght(p, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10) rght(n, beta = 0.1, delta = 1, mu = 0, nu = 10)

Arguments

beta, delta, mu
numeric values. beta is the skewness parameter in the range (0, alpha); delta is the scale parameter, must be zero or positive; mu is the location parameter, by default 0. These are the parameters in the first parameterization.
nu
a numeric value, the number of degrees of freedom. Note, alpha takes the limit of abs(beta), and lambda=-nu/2.
x, q
a numeric vector of quantiles.
p
a numeric vector of probabilities.
n
number of observations.
log
a logical, if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

Value

All values for the *ght functions are numeric vectors: d* returns the density, p* returns the distribution function, q* returns the quantile function, and r* generates random deviates.All values have attributes named "param" listing the values of the distributional parameters.
