ReversalPowerCauchy: The Reversal Power Cauchy Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the reversal power Cauchy distribution with parameters mu, sigma and lambda.

Usage

drpcauchy(x, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1, log = FALSE)
prpcauchy(q, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE)
qrpcauchy(p, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1, lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE)
rrpcauchy(n, lambda = 1, mu = 0, sigma = 1)

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles.

lambda

shape parameter.

mu, sigma

location and scale parameters.

log, log.p

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

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are \(P[X \le x ]\), otherwise, P[X > x].

p

vector of probabilities.

n

number of observations.

Details

The reversal power Cauchy distribution has density

\(f(x)=\lambda\left [\frac{1}{\pi}\arctan\left (-\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right )+\frac{1}{2} \right ]^{\lambda -1}\left[ \frac{1}{\pi\sigma\left( 1+\left (\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right )^{2} \right)} \right]\)

where \(-\infty<\mu<\infty\) is the location paramether, \(\sigma^2>0\) the scale parameter and \(\lambda>0\) the shape parameter.
