pGBeta1: Generalized Beta Type-1 Distribution

Description

These functions provide the ability for generating probability density values, cumulative probability density values and moment about zero values for the Generalized Beta Type-1 Distribution bounded between [0,1].

Usage

pGBeta1(p,a,b,c)

Value

The output pGBeta1 gives the cumulative density values in vector form.

Arguments

p

vector of probabilities.

a

single value for shape parameter alpha representing as a.

b

single value for shape parameter beta representing as b.

c

single value for shape parameter gamma representing as c.

Details

The probability density function and cumulative density function of a unit bounded Generalized Beta Type-1 Distribution with random variable P are given by

$$g_{P}(p)= \frac{c}{B(a,b)} p^{ac-1} (1-p^c)^{b-1} $$; \(0 \le p \le 1\) $$G_{P}(p)= \frac{p^{ac}}{aB(a,b)} 2F1(a,1-b;p^c;a+1) $$ \(0 \le p \le 1\) $$a,b,c > 0$$

The mean and the variance are denoted by $$E[P]= \frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})} $$ $$var[P]= \frac{B(a+b,\frac{2}{c})}{B(a,\frac{2}{c})}-(\frac{B(a+b,\frac{1}{c})}{B(a,\frac{1}{c})})^2 $$

The moments about zero is denoted as $$E[P^r]= \frac{B(a+b,\frac{r}{c})}{B(a,\frac{r}{c})} $$ \(r = 1,2,3,....\)

Defined as \(B(a,b)\) is Beta function. Defined as \(2F1(a,b;c;d)\) is Gaussian Hypergeometric function.

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.
