cdfgum: Gumbel (extreme-value type I) distribution

Description

Distribution function and quantile function of the Gumbel distribution.

Usage

cdfgum(x, para = c(0, 1))
quagum(f, para = c(0, 1))

Arguments

x
Vector of quantiles.
f
Vector of probabilities.
para
Numeric vector containing the parameters of the distribution, in the order $\xi, \alpha$ (location, scale).

Value

  • cdfgum gives the distribution function; quagum gives the quantile function.

Details

The Gumbel distribution with location parameter $\xi$ and scale parameter $\alpha$ has distribution function $$F(x)=\exp(-\exp(-(x-\xi)/\alpha))$$ and quantile function $$x(F)=\xi-\alpha\log(-\log(F)).$$

See Also

cdfgev for the generalized extreme-value distribution, which generalizes the Gumbel distribution.

Examples

Run this code
# Random sample from the Gumbel distribution with parameters xi=0, alpha=3.
