dmixt: Probabilty density function of mixture model.

Description

Computes pdf of the mixture model.

Usage

dmixt(x, phi, spec1, arg1, spec2, arg2, log = FALSE)

Arguments

x

scalar or vector of values to compute the pdf.

phi

the value of \(\phi\) parameter, \(\phi>0\).

spec1

a character string specifying the first parent distribution (for example, "lnorm" if the parent distribution corresponds to the lognormal).

arg1

list of arguments/parameters of the first parent distribution.

spec2

a character string specifying the second parent distribution (for example, "exp" if the parent distribution corresponds to the exponential).

arg2

list of arguments/parameters of the second parent distribution.

log

logical; if TRUE, log(pdf) are returned.

Value

An object of the same length as x, giving the pdf values computed at x.

Details

The pdf of mixture model with parameter \(phi\) has a general form of: $$ f(x) = \frac{1}{1+\phi} \left( g_{1}(x) + \phi g_{2}(x)\right) $$ where \(x\) follows the support of parent distributions, \(\phi\) is the weight component and \(g_{i}(x)\) for \(i=1,2\) are the pdfs of first and second parent distributions, respectively.
