quasla: Quantile Function of the Slash Distribution

Description

This function computes the quantiles of the Slash distribution given parameters ($\xi$ and $\alpha$) of the distribution provided by vec2par. The quantile function of the distribution $x(F; \xi, \alpha)$ for nonexceedance probability $F$ and where $\xi$ is a location parameter and $\alpha$ is a scale parameter requires numerical optimization of the cumulative distribution function.

Usage

quasla(f, para, paracheck=TRUE)

Arguments

f
Nonexceedance probability ($0 \le F \le 1$).
para
The parameters from parsla or vec2par.
paracheck
A logical controlling whether the parameters and checked for validity. Overriding of this check might be extremely important and needed for use of the distribution quantile function in the context of TL-moments with nonzero trimming.

Value

  • Quantile value for for nonexceedance probability $F$.
