order_iparalogistic: Random Sampling of k-th Order Statistics from a Inverse Paralogistic Distribution

Description

order_iparalogistic is used to obtain a random sample of the k-th order statistic from a Inverse Paralogistic distribution and some associated quantities of interest.

Usage

order_iparalogistic(size, k, shape, scale, n, p = 0.5, alpha = 0.05, ...)

Value

A list with a random sample of order statistics from a Inverse Paralogistic Distribution, the value of its join probability density function evaluated in the random sample and an approximate (1 - alpha) confidence interval for the population percentile p of the distribution of the k-th order statistic.

Arguments

size

numeric, represents the size of the sample.

k

numeric, represents the k-th smallest value from a sample.

shape

numeric, represents a first shape parameter value. Must be strictly positive.

scale

numeric, represents scale parameter values. Must be strictly positive.

n

numeric, represents the size of the sample to compute the order statistic from.

p

numeric, represents the 100p percentile for the distribution of the k-th order statistic. Default value is population median, p = 0.5.

alpha

numeric, (1 - alpha) represents the confidence of an interval for the population percentile p of the distribution of the k-th order statistic. Default value is 0.05.

...

represents others parameters of a Inverse Paralogistic distribution.
