degld: Basic functions for RS-GLD

Description

To compute the density, distribution, quantile, and to generate random sample for RS-GLD.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
degld(x,lambda)
pegld(x,lambda)
qegld(p,lambda)
regld(n,lambda)

Arguments

x

a numeric value or a vector.

p

a probability or a vector of probabilities.

n

sample size.

lambda

a vector of four parameters for RS-GLD.
