qskew: Quantile function of skewed symmetric model.

Description

Computes qf of the skewed symmetric model.

Usage

qskew(p, spec1, arg1, spec2, arg2, interval = c(1, 10), lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

Arguments

p

scalar or vector of probabilities to compute the qf.

spec1

a character string specifying the parent distribution \(g(x)\) (for example, "norm" if the parent distribution corresponds to the normal).

arg1

list of arguments/parameters of the parent distribution \(g(x)\).

spec2

a character string specifying the parent distribution \(H(x)\) (for example, "logis" if the parent distribution corresponds to the logistic).

arg2

list of arguments/parameters of the parent distribution \(H(x)\).

interval

a vector of interval end-points for p to search for the function root.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE, probabilities are p, otherwise 1-p.

log.p

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

Value

An object of the same length as p, giving the qf values computed at p.
