SEP: The Skew Power exponential (SEP) distribution for fitting a GAMLSS

Description

This function defines the Skew Power exponential (SEP) distribution, a four parameter distribution, for a gamlss.family object to be used for a GAMLSS fitting using the function gamlss(). The functions dSEP, pSEP, qSEP and rSEP define the density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Skew Power exponential (SEP) distribution.

Usage

SEP(mu.link = "identity", sigma.link = "log", nu.link = "identity",  tau.link = "log")
dSEP(x, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 0, tau = 2, log = FALSE)
pSEP(q, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 0, tau = 2, lower.tail = TRUE,  log.p = FALSE)
qSEP(p, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 0, tau = 2, lower.tail = TRUE,  log.p = FALSE, lower.limit = mu - 5 * sigma,  upper.limit = mu + 5 * sigma)
rSEP(n, mu = 0, sigma = 1, nu = 0, tau = 2)

Arguments

mu.link

Defines the mu.link, with "identity" link as the default for the mu parameter. Other links are "$1/mu^2$" and "log"

sigma.link

Defines the sigma.link, with "log" link as the default for the sigma parameter. Other links are "inverse" and "identity"

nu.link

Defines the nu.link, with "identity" link as the default for the nu parameter. Other links are "$1/nu^2$" and "log"

tau.link

Defines the tau.link, with "log" link as the default for the tau parameter. Other links are "$1/tau^2$", and "identity

x,q

vector of quantiles

mu

vector of location parameter values

sigma

vector of scale parameter values

nu

vector of skewness nu parameter values

tau

vector of kurtosis tau parameter values

log, log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).

lower.tail

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

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations. If length(n) > 1, the length is taken to be the number required

lower.limit

lower limit for the golden search to find quantiles from probabilities

upper.limit

upper limit for the golden search to find quantiles from probabilities

Value

SEP() returns a gamlss.family object which can be used to fit the SEP distribution in the gamlss() function. dSEP() gives the density, pSEP() gives the distribution function, qSEP() gives the quantile function, and rSEP() generates random deviates.

Warning

The qSEP and rSEP are slow since they are relying on golden section for finding the quantiles

Details

The probability density function of the Skew Power exponential distribution, (SEP), is defined as $$f(y|n,\mu,\sigma\,\nu,\tau)==\frac{z}{\sigma} \Phi(\omega) \hspace{1mm} f_{EP}(z,0,1,\tau) $$

for $00$, $nu=(-Inf,+Inf)$ and $tau>0$. where $z=(y-mu)/(sigma)$, $w=sign(z)|z|^(t/2) *nu*sqrt(2/tau)$ and $dPE(z,0,1,tau)$ is the pdf of an Exponential Power distribution.
