quasla: Quantile Function of the Slash Distribution

Description

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

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 are checked for validity. Overriding of this check might be extremely important and needed for use of the quantile function in the context of TL-moments with nonzero trimming.

Value

Quantile value for for nonexceedance probability $F$.
